Publication number: 20240078794Abstract: A method is provided for validating annotations of objects. Spatial datapoints acquired by a sensor and annotation data are received. The annotation data is associated with the acquired spatial data points and includes an identification of each respective object. Via a processing unit, the annotations of the objects are validated by performing the steps of: determining a target range for at least one property of the objects, determining, from the acquired spatial datapoints and/or from the annotation data, a respective value of the at least one property for each respective object, and for each object, identifying the object as an erroneous object if the respective value of the at least one property is outside the target range for the at least one property. The erroneous object is selected for review regarding erroneous annotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Aptiv Technologies LimitedInventors: Urs ZIMMERMANN, Dennis MÜLLER

Patent number: 11763539Abstract: A method for providing information related to an external object in a field of view of a driver of a vehicle comprises that the driver is monitored by a camera system, and that an estimated eye position is identified based on data provided by the camera system. Spatial information is gathered for at least one external object outside the vehicle. A basic display location is determined for a visual output related to the external object based on the spatial information. At least one imminent or instantaneous disturbance event for the vehicle is detected. An eye position correction and/or a display location correction are determined in response to the imminent or instantaneous disturbance event.

Publication number: 20230055974Abstract: Disclosed are aspects of a method, carried out by a vehicle data recording device, that includes downloading, from a host data collecting system, a recording target and determining a plurality of possible routes for the vehicle. The method also includes, for each route, generating a route encoding in numerical values an information on predicted values of the route for metrics, a metric being a function assigning a value representing an amount of progress in achieving an elementary recording target to a piece of data. The method additionally includes providing the route encodings and additional environmental information independent of the routes to a reinforcement learning agent that selects one of the routes to optimize a reward. The method further includes recording data from in-vehicle sources while the vehicle drives along the selected route and uploading at least part of the recording data to the host data collecting system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Michael Arnold, Sönke Behrends, Peet Cremer, Dennis Mueller

Publication number: 20230056115Abstract: Disclosed are aspects of a method, which is carried out in a vehicle, that includes downloading over-the-air from a host system a data collection target including a data value metric that is a function assigning a data value to a piece of data at a given point in time, which represents an amount of progress towards an atomic collection target. The method also includes collecting data from data sources in the vehicle over time while the vehicle is driving and recording the collected data in a storing module. The method additionally includes computing the data values of the recording data according to the data value metric and selecting, from the recording data, recording data snippets of high value within a time window based on the computed data values. The method further includes uploading only the selected recording data snippets of high value to the host system over-the-air.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Michael Arnold, Sönke Behrends, Peet Cremer, Dennis Müller
