METHOD FOR ASSESSING A SOFTWARE FOR A CONTROL UNIT OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546544 titled 'METHOD FOR ASSESSING A SOFTWARE FOR A CONTROL UNIT OF A VEHICLE
The abstract describes a method for evaluating software in a vehicle control unit by comparing the output of two versions of the software using sensor data. The assessment is based on the quality of object detection.
- The method involves receiving sensor data from a sensor system in the vehicle.
- The sensor data is input into two versions of the software to generate object data.
- The first version generates first object data, while the second version generates second object data.
- The second version is assessed for detection quality by comparing the object data from both versions.
- The assessment result is then transmitted to a central data-processing device.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle safety and autonomous driving systems. - Software development for control units in various vehicles.
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate and reliable object detection in vehicle control units. - Helps in identifying and improving software performance for better safety measures.

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for assessing a software for a control unit of a vehicle. The control unit includes a memory storing first and second versions of the software, and a processor. The method includes: receiving, in the control unit, sensor data generated by a sensor system for sensing an area surrounding the vehicle; inputting the sensor data into the first and second versions; generating first object data from the sensor data by the first version, the first object data including positions and/or orientations of first objects; generating second object data from the sensor data by the second version, the second object data including positions and/or orientations of second objects; assessing the second version in terms of a detection quality by comparing the first object data to the second object data, whereby an assessment result is produced; and transmitting the assessment result from the control unit to a central data-processing device.
