  • Publication number: 20230196849
    Abstract: A method for processing raw data recorded from the real world with the aid of a sensor into test data for stimulating a control unit, including: providing recorded raw data from the real world; ascertaining real objects detected by the sensor from the raw data, and generating route data sets, which each describe a scene including images of these real objects at consecutive points in time. providing a library of synthetic objects; assigning synthetic objects to detected images of the real objects, replacing the detected images with synthetic objects; supplementing temporally consecutive route data sets with supplementary data sets before the first route data set; and generating test data by converting the route data sets supplemented by the supplementary data sets into raw data that would have been recorded in the real world by the sensor during the introductory period and the recording period.

  • Publication number: 20220291355
    Abstract: A device and to a method for isolating a trigger signal for a test system of a LiDAR sensor, having an optical element, which is arranged in a signal pat of the trigger signal before a converging lens or a trigger detector and which is designed to allow the trigger signal to pass and to at least partially absorb a back reflection, in particular reflected off a surface, of the trigger signal that has passed through the optical element. A test system for a LiDAR sensor is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20190152486
    Abstract: A test bed for an image-processing system includes: a first computing unit arranged in the test bed, wherein the first computing unit is configured to execute simulation software for an environmental model, the simulation software being configured to calculate a first position x(t) and a first speed vector v(t) and to assign the first position x(t) and the first speed vector v(t) to a first virtual object in the environmental model; a second computing unit arranged in the test bed, wherein the second computing unit is configured to cyclically read in a position of the first virtual object in the environmental model and to compute, based on at least the read-in position, first image data representing a two-dimensional, first graphical projection of the environmental model; and an adapter module arranged in the test bed.

  • Publication number: 20180060467
    Abstract: A method for simulating a collision situation between two vehicles for testing a driver assistance system in a driving simulator or in a Vehicle-in-the-Loop scenario. A fellow vehicle simulated on a simulation computer is assigned a trajectory that passes through a point of collision of a planned collision between the fellow vehicle and an ego vehicle that is not controlled by the simulation computer. The driver assistance system is equipped to exchange data with the simulated environment in real time and to influence the driving behavior of the ego vehicle in a collision situation. A target distance to the point of collision is determined for the fellow vehicle that the fellow vehicle would have to have in order to arrive at the point of collision simultaneously or substantially simultaneously with the ego vehicle, under the assumption that it travels at the specified arrival speed.

  • Publication number: 20170010346
    Abstract: A test bench for testing a distance radar instrument for determining distance and speed of obstacles, comprising a radar emulation device comprising at least one radar antenna and a computer unit with a model of the surroundings, wherein the model of the surroundings comprises data (x, v) of at least one obstacle with a relative position and speed from the distance radar instrument, wherein the radar emulation device emits a suitable reflection radar signal on the basis of the relative position and speed predetermined by the model of the surroundings at least partly in the direction of the distance radar instrument after receiving a scanning radar signal from the distance radar instrument such that the distance radar instrument detects an obstacle with a predetermined relative position and speed, wherein the radar emulation device extends over an angular range in front of the distance radar instrument such that the obstacle with relative position and speed can be simulated in this angular range with mutually

  • Publication number: 20160203244
    Abstract: A computer-based system and method for assigning at least one signal of a symbol-based program to at least one I/O functionality of a target hardware unit is provided. A modeling tool has a symbol-based program with the signal that is to be assigned. The signal to be assigned of the symbol-based program and the at least one I/O functionality of the target hardware unit are specified in a configuration tool. Using the modeling tool, an I/O functionality of the target hardware unit is assigned in the symbol-based program to the signal that is to be assigned. A signal assignment information item is generated in the modeling tool from this assignment. The signal assignment information item is transmitted from the modeling tool to the configuration tool, and the configuration tool takes over the assignment to the I/O functionality of the target hardware unit of the signal to be assigned of the symbol-based program according to the signal assignment information item.
