Abstract
Logged data from an autonomous vehicle is processed to generate augmented data. The augmented data describes an actor in an environment of the autonomous vehicle, the actor having an associated actor type and an actor motion behavior characteristic. The augmented data may be varied to create different sets of augmented data. The sets of augmented data can be used to create one or more simulation scenarios that in turn are used to produce machine learning models to control the operation of autonomous vehicles.
Claims20
A method for generating simulation data to be used in training a machine learning model for an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of a vehicle;
- generating augmented data from the sensor data, the augmented data describing an actor in an environment of the vehicle;
- generating a variation of the augmented data;
- and
- generating a simulation scenario, the simulation scenario generated using the variation of the augmented data.
A system comprising one or more processors and memory operably coupled with the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores instructions that, in response to execution of the instructions by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving sensor data from a sensor of a vehicle;
- generating augmented data from the sensor data, the augmented data describing an actor in an environment of the vehicle;
- generating a variation of the augmented data;
- and
- generating a simulation scenario, the simulation scenario generated using the variation of the augmented data.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions executable by one or more processors to perform a method of generating simulation data for an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of a vehicle;
- generating augmented data from the sensor data, the augmented data describing an actor in an environment of the vehicle;
- generating a variation of the augmented data;
- and
- generating a simulation scenario, the simulation scenario generated using the variation of the augmented data.
