Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for improving accuracy of a vision model. Images of an object with a first set of perspectives are received from a dataset used to train the vision model. A three-dimensional model of the object is then generated using the images of the object from the dataset. Using the three-dimensional model of the object, images of the object with a second set of perspectives are obtained. For example, the second set of perspectives may include different perspectives than the perspectives of the object from the images contained in the dataset. The dataset used to train the vision model may then be augmented with such images of the object with a second set of perspectives. In this manner, the dataset used to train the vision model includes a greater number of perspectives of the object thereby improving the accuracy of the vision model.

Abstract: A method of estimating an accident risk level of a first traffic participant based on interactions or negotiations of the first traffic participant with one or more other traffic participants is provided. The method includes generating a plurality of virtual trajectories of the first traffic participant based on a recorded initial position, a recorded final position of the first traffic participant, and a recorded initial position of each of the one or more other traffic participants. The plurality of virtual trajectories of the first traffic participant are associated with a plurality of virtual behaviors of the first traffic participant. The method further includes identifying a virtual trajectory that is most similar to a recorded trajectory of the first traffic participant. The method enables an automatic interpretation of an actual maneuver of the first traffic participant based on the virtual behavior of first traffic participant associated with the identified virtual trajectory.
