Publication number: 20220083841Abstract: A method for labeling vehicle-generated sensor data uses radar points from a radar detector, image data from camera(s) and lidar data from a lidar with overlapping fields-of-view. The method assigns plausibility labels to the radar points from the image data corrected by image-rectification, generates a camera-based depth estimation from a neural network calibrated by the lidar data, calculating a three-dimensional point from two-dimensional image information by the camera-based depth estimation, with the cloud being associated with the radar points and the lidar data being associated with the radar points. A radar/lidar plausibility and a radar/camera plausibility arise and are merged to form an optics-based plausibility. A radar/tracking plausibility is assigned to each radar point by tracking.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Simon Tobias Isele, Marcel Peter Schilling

Patent number: 7975526Abstract: A calibration weight arrangement (4, 104) for an electronic balance with a force-transmitting mechanism (1) has a calibration weight (3, 103) adapted to be coupled to the force-transmitting mechanism. The arrangement also has a transfer mechanism and a drive source to manipulate the calibration weight in a guided movement. The drive source includes an actuator (18) cooperating with the transfer mechanism and at least one piezoelectric element (19) which drives the movement of the actuator. The piezoelectric element interacts with a drive wheel (17, 117) that is centrally positioned relative to the calibration weight arrangement and drives a likewise centrally positioned shaft (16, 126). The interaction between the piezoelectric element and the drive wheel occurs during the advance movement in one direction through the repeated engagement and release of a frictional contact force.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2010Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Mettler-Toledo AGInventors: Dominique Genoud, Peter Schilling, Thomas Koeppel, Matthias Scheu
