Patent ID: 11475248

Abstract:
Acquiring labeled data can be a significant bottleneck in the development of machine learning models that are accurate and efficient enough to enable safety-critical applications, such as automated driving. The process of labeling of driving logs can be automated. Unlabeled real-world driving logs, which include data captured by one or more vehicle sensors, can be automatically labeled to generate one or more labeled real-world driving logs. The automatic labeling can include analysis-by-synthesis on the unlabeled real-world driving logs to generate simulated driving logs, which can include reconstructed driving scenes or portions thereof. The automatic labeling can further include simulation-to-real automatic labeling on the simulated driving logs and the unlabeled real-world driving logs to generate one or more labeled real-world driving logs. The automatically labeled real-world driving logs can be stored in one or more data stores for subsequent training, validation, evaluation, and/or model management.
