Abstract: Provided are methods for scalable and realistic camera blockage dataset generation, which can include generating synthetic images depicting a blockage on or near an imaging sensor. The synthetic images may be created by combining one or more chroma key-extracted partial blockage image with one or more background images, the combination of which can provide a scalable blockage dataset. Metadata for each synthetic image can be generated along with the synthetic image, by annotating the portion of the synthetic image represented by the chroma key-extracted partial blockage image as constituting blockage. The synthetic images can be used to increase the accuracy of machine learning models trained to identify blockage by increasing the volume of data available for such training.

The system can modify an occupancy value of at least one point in the array and identify at least one static object miss based on a group of occupancy values of a group of points in the array.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for training a neural network with a training data set including data items labeled at different granularities. During training, each item within the training data set can be fed through the neural network. For items with labels of a higher granularity, weights of the network can be adjusted based on a comparison between the output of the network and the label of the item. For items with labels of a lower granularity, an output of the network can be fed through a conversion function that convers the output from the higher granularity to the lower granularity. The weights of the network can then be adjusted based on a comparison between the converted output and the label of the item.
