Abstract
Apparatus for and method of processing sensor data for the purpose of navigating a vehicle (for example an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle), the sensor data being from a sensor (for example a camera) mounted on the vehicle. The method can include can include: for a number of time-steps, measuring a value of a parameter of a scene using the sensor to produce a sequence of images of the scene; determining a value of one or more image quality metrics (for example, spatial entropy and spatial information) in each image in the sequence; and identifying as either valid or invalid, a sub-sequence of images in the sequence based on the determined metric values.
Claims15
A method of processing sensor data for navigating a vehicle, the sensor data being from a sensor mounted on a vehicle, the method comprising:
- for a number of time-steps, measuring a value of a parameter of a scene using the sensor to produce a sequence of images of the scene;
- determining a metric value of one or more image quality metrics in each image in the sequence;
- and
- identifying as either valid or invalid, a sub-sequence of images in the sequence based on the determined metric values.
Apparatus for processing sensor data for the purpose of navigating a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor for mounting on a vehicle, the sensor being configured to, for a number of time-steps, measure a value of a parameter of a scene to produce a sequence of images of the scene;
- and
- one or more processors arranged to:
- determine a metric value of one or more image quality metrics in each image in the sequence;
- and
- identify as either valid or invalid, a sub-sequence of images in the sequence based on the determined metric values.
