Abstract: A method for monitoring surroundings of a first sensor system. The method includes: providing a temporal sequence of data of the first sensor system for monitoring the surroundings; generating an input tensor including the temporal sequence of data of the first sensor system, for a trained neural network; the neural network being configured and trained to identify, on the basis of the input tensor, at least one subregion of the surroundings, in order to improve the monitoring of the surroundings with the aid of a second sensor system; generating a control signal for the second sensor system with the aid of an output signal of the trained neural network, in order to improve the monitoring of the surroundings in the at least one subregion.

Abstract: A method is for tracking an object using an environment sensor. The object is represented by an object status. The method includes detecting a sensor value of the environment sensor, predicting a future object status of the object, and updating the object status using a Bayesian filter. The updating includes using an artificial intelligence module (“AI module”). The AI module is trained such that the detected sensor value is associated with the object and the object status of the object is updated based on the predicted future object status of the object and the detected sensor value.

Abstract: A method for the detection of an object in an environment of a vehicle as a function of sensor signals of a sensor for acquiring the environment of the vehicle. The method includes: processing the sensor signals using a region proposal network to obtain at least one object hypothesis per anchor, the object hypothesis including an object probability and a bounding box; selecting the best object hypothesis on the basis of a quality model, the quality model being a function of the anchor and the bounding box of the object hypothesis; identifying redundant object hypotheses relative to the selected object hypothesis, the redundant object hypotheses being identified as a function of the anchors of the redundant object hypotheses, using a target function assigned to the region proposal network; and fusing the selected object hypothesis with the identified redundant object hypotheses for the object detection.

Abstract: A method for creating a training dataset, a validation dataset, and/or a test dataset for an AI module from measurement data includes dividing the measurement data into divided portions based on time periods, applying a mathematical function to the divided portions of the measurement data in order to obtain signatures representing the divided portions, determining a measure of a frequency of occurrence of a respective signature of the obtained signatures, and creating the training dataset, the validation dataset, and/or the test dataset from the measurement data based on the determined measure of the frequency.

Abstract: A method for determining the spatial orientation of an object from at least one measuring signal which includes the response of the object to electromagnetic interrogation radiation. A method for predicting the trajectory of at least one object from at least one measuring signal which includes the response of the object to electromagnetic interrogation radiation, in conjunction with a scalar velocity of the object. A method for training a classifier and/or a regressor.

Abstract: A method for generating radar reflection points comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of predefined radar reflection points of at least one first object detected by a radar and at least one first scenario description describing a first environment related to the detected first object; converting the predefined radar reflection points into at least one first power distribution pattern image related to a distribution of a power returning from the detected first object; training a model based on the first power distribution pattern image and the first scenario description; providing at least one second scenario description describing a second environment related to a second object; generating at least one second power distribution pattern image related to a distribution of a power returning from the second object based on the trained model and the second scenario description; and sampling the second power distribution pattern image.

Abstract: A projectile with several flare bodies, which are eccentrically housed in the body of the projectile and are ignited by at least one delay element for each flare body. The expulsion gases are conveyed from the ogive of the projectile to the delay elements through filler elements that form a channel in the center of the projectile for the expulsion gases.

Abstract: Flare munition for battlefield illumination is provided that includes: (a) at least one electrical flare body; (b) an electrical energy source connectable with the flare body; and (c) an electrical or electronic control device for connecting the electrical flare body with the source of energy during a specified time interval. The flare munition can be fired from a weapon or can be launched as a bomb and allows safe and simple subsequent recovery of the corresponding flare body because no pyrotechnic flare charge is used. Instead, an electrical flare body is used that emits light in the visible and/or infrared wavelength range depending on its intended purpose.
