System and method for evaluating a trained vehicle data set familiarity of a driver assitance system
Patent number: 10839263Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, devices and methods for evaluating a trained vehicle data set of a driver assistance system. Embodiments are directed to scoring run time attributes of a scene detection operation using a trained vehicle data set against a vector representation for an annotated data set to assess the ability of the scene detection operation to perceive target object attributes of the vehicle sensor data. In one embodiment, scoring evaluates effectiveness of the scene detection operation in identifying target object attributes of the vehicle sensor data using the trained vehicle data set. An event flag may be determined for a trained vehicle data set based on the scoring, the even flag identifying one or more parameters for updating the trained vehicle data set. Configurations and processes can identify anomalies to a trained vehicle data set and allow for capturing useful real world data to test runtime operations.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATEDInventors: Aaron Thompson, Honghao Tan -
