VIRTUAL SENSOR DATA GENERATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF VISIBLE RAIN DETECTION ALGORITHMS

摘要

A method for generating training data is disclosed. The method may include executing a simulation process. The simulation process may include traversing a virtual camera through a virtual driving environment, including at least one virtual precipitation condition and at least one virtual non-precipitation condition. During transit, the virtual camera may be moved relative to the virtual driving environment, as dictated by a vehicle movement model, to model the movement of a vehicle traveling through the virtual driving environment while carrying the virtual camera. Virtual sensor data characterizing the virtual driving environment in both virtual rainfall and non-precipitation virtual conditions can be recorded. The virtual sensor data may correspond to what a real sensor would have given if it had captured the virtual driving environment in the real world.
