  • Assisted labelling of training data for machine learning models
    Patent number: 12387463
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method. Includes determining an estimate of a state of an object detected at a first time step, based on a pointwise estimate of the state of the object at the first time step and pointwise measurements of the state of the object at a plurality of further time steps. Includes generating, using the estimate of the state of the object, a proposed annotation associated with the object at the first time step. Includes rendering, via a user interface, a visual representation of the environment at the first time step and a visual representation of the proposed annotation. Includes receiving, via the user interface, user input indicating a user-approved annotation associated with the object at the first time step. Includes generating training data for a machine learning model for use in controlling an autonomous vehicle, based at least in part on the user-approved annotation.

  • Tool for offline perception component evaluation
    Patent number: 11782815
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method. Includes obtaining pointwise data indicating, for a plurality of time steps, a pointwise measurement of a state of an object detected by an object detection system. Includes obtaining, from a runtime model, runtime data indicating, for the plurality of time steps, a runtime estimate of the state of the object. Includes processing, by a benchmark model, the pointwise data to determine, for the plurality of time steps, a benchmark estimate of the state of the object. Includes evaluating a metric measuring, for the plurality of time steps, a deviation between the runtime estimate and the benchmark estimate of the state of the object. Includes updating, based on the on the evaluation of the metric, the runtime model.
