Abstract

Methods and apparatus pertaining to a testbed for lane boundary detection in a virtual driving environment are provided. A method may involve generating, by a processor, a virtual driving environment comprising one or more driving lanes, a virtual vehicle, and one or more virtual sensors mounted on the virtual vehicle configured to generate simulated data as the virtual vehicle traverses within the virtual environment. The method may also involve executing an algorithm to process the simulated data to detect the one or more driving lanes. The method may further involve recording an output of the algorithm. The method may additionally involve annotating the simulated data with the output of the algorithm.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to vehicle systems, and more particularly to a testbed for providing a test and validation environment for developing, training and validating algorithms for detecting lane boundaries in a driving environment. Background technique [0002] In general, it is necessary to have well-proven algorithms for interpreting sensors to provide, enable, or otherwise support functions such as driver assistance, controlling vehicle dynamics, and / or autonomous driving. In particular, algorithms for detecting the boundaries of driving lanes are crucial. Currently, such algorithms rely on real-world sensor data and ground-truth information for development, training, testing, and validation. However, obtaining large amounts of useful real-world data and ground-truth information is expensive in terms of time, money, and resources. Contents of the invention [0003] According to the present invention, a method is provided, compr...
