Methods And Systems for Data Acquisition and Data-Insight for the Development of Automated Driving Systems

A computing device comprising control circuitry configured to:

• obtain a sequence of sensor data comprising sensor data captured by one or more sensors of a vehicle for a plurality of time instances;
• generate a set of sensor data embeddings for the sequence of sensor data, wherein each sensor data embedding of the set of sensor data embeddings is generated by processing sensor data for one or more time instances of the plurality of time instances, through one or more sensor data embedding networks having been trained to process sensor data and to output corresponding sensor data embeddings for the sensor data in a multi-dimensional space;
• obtain two or more query embeddings, the two or more query embeddings having been generated by processing a query through one or more query embedding networks trained to process queries and to output corresponding one or more query embeddings for each query in the multi-dimensional space, and wherein each of the one or more query embedding networks has been trained in association with at least one of the one or more sensor data embedding networks so as to relate to the same multi-dimensional space;
• obtain a logical statement associated with the query for which the two or more query embeddings have been generated;
• and
• in response to each of the two or more query embeddings matching a respective sensor data embedding of the set of sensor data embeddings, and the sensor data, corresponding to said matching sensor data embeddings, fulfilling the logical statement, perform an action of a set of defined actions.
