The invention relates to an
annotation method for annotating a training
data set (LD) for training an environment
recognition system (3).The training dataset (LD) comprises environment
perception data (4), which is a sensory representation of a vehicle environment containing at least one physical linear
road surface boundary (Lim), and an ordered
data structure for the computer-readable representation of a physical linear
road surface boundary (Lim) in the environment of a vehicle as a virtual linear
road surface boundary (10), wherein the ordered
data structure (1) defines at least one line object with a
list of support points (P1, P2, P3), wherein the line object is assigned a semantic line property (5) that identifies the line object as a whole as a virtual linear road surface boundary, and wherein at least one of the support points (P1, P2, P3) can be assigned a separate semantic point property (A, B, C) by the
annotation procedure. The
annotation procedure comprises the steps: a.a. Displaying a file of the environment capture data (4) in a visually recognizable representation on a display means (11), in particular on a monitor (11); b. Displaying the at least one line object with the
list of vertices (P1, P2, P3), wherein the vertices P1, P2, P3 of the
list of vertices (P1, P2, P3) are displayed in a visually recognizable representation overlaid on the environment capture file (4) on the display means (11); c. Capturing a selection of a first vertex P1 from the list of vertices (P1, P2, P3), wherein the first selected vertex P1 is selected with an area segment selection means (12), in particular with a cursor (12), on the display means (11); d. Capturing an assignment of a separate semantic point property (A, B, C) to the first selected vertex P1.
