Method and Validation System for Validating a Software Component for Highly Automated Driving

Abstract

A method for validating a software component for highly automated driving is disclosed, wherein unprocessed video data, which depict at least one driving situation recorded from a vehicle perspective by a recording vehicle are read by a data processing system and processed into preprocessed video data using a vehicle processor connected to the data processing system for video preprocessing, wherein the vehicle processor is arranged on an adapter board and is connected to the data processing system via standard interfaces, wherein the preprocessed video data are used by the data processing system as input variables for the software component to be validated, and a reaction of the software component to the driving situation depicted in the preprocessed video data as output variables for the software component to be validated are compared by the data processing system with an expected reaction in order to validate the software component.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
