  • Publication number: 20220343700
    Abstract: A method for obtaining a sensor data set of a vehicle is provided, wherein sensor data of at least one sensor are received. A plurality of triggers for detecting an object or a situation are defined on a server outside the vehicle, each of which said triggers comprises a trigger computing performance value, a trigger classifier, and a trigger requirement. The plurality of triggers are sent to the vehicle. In the vehicle, a respective priority is assigned to the plurality of triggers based on trigger computing performance values, and the trigger classifier of one or more of the triggers is applied to sensor data according to their priority, if a computing capacity of the vehicle permits, from which a respective classifier score results. The sensor data set is sent to the server only if the respective classifier score satisfies the trigger requirement of the respective trigger.
