System and method for cross validation of ground truth using multiple data sources

A computer-implemented method for cross validating ground truth data using multiple data sources including a first vehicle and a second vehicle, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, from the first vehicle, first sensor data including sensor data of a first navigation sensor positioned at the first vehicle, the first sensor data including perception data corresponding to a third vehicle or a pseudo-object;
• receiving, from the second vehicle, second sensor data including sensor data of a second navigation sensor positioned at the second vehicle, the second sensor data including perception data corresponding to the third vehicle or the pseudo-object, and the first vehicle, wherein the first sensor data and the second sensor data are collected by the first vehicle and the second vehicle, respectively;
• identifying a first position of the third vehicle or pseudo-object based upon the first sensor data;
• identifying a second position of the third vehicle or pseudo-object based upon the second sensor data;
• determining when a difference between the first position of the third vehicle or pseudo-object and the second position of the third vehicle or pseudo-object is within a predetermined threshold difference value;
• and
• upon determining that the difference between the first position and the second position is within the predetermined threshold difference value, determining that the first sensor data is cross validated.

A non-transitory computer-readable media (CRM) having machine-executable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to cross validate ground truth data using multiple data sources including a first vehicle and a second vehicle by performing operations comprising:

• receiving, from the first vehicle, first sensor data including sensor data of a first navigation sensor positioned at the first vehicle, the first sensor data including perception data corresponding to a third vehicle or a pseudo-object;
• receiving, from the second vehicle, second sensor data including sensor data of a second navigation sensor positioned at the second vehicle, the second sensor data including perception data corresponding to the third vehicle or the pseudo-object, and the first vehicle, wherein the first sensor data and the second sensor data are collected by the first vehicle and the second vehicle, respectively;
• identifying a first position of the third vehicle or pseudo-object based upon the first sensor data;
• identifying a second position of the third vehicle or pseudo-object based upon the second sensor data;
• determining when a difference between the first position of the third vehicle or pseudo-object and the second position of the third vehicle or pseudo-object is within a predetermined threshold difference value;
• and
• upon determining that the difference between the first position and the second position is within the predetermined threshold difference value, determining that the first sensor data is cross validated.
