A new paper proposes a method for evaluating the uncertainty of machine learning object detectors used in LiDAR systems, specifically addressing the safety requirements of ISO 21448. The research highlights that performance targets, which are crucial for safety analysis, may not transfer reliably across different environmental conditions or detector configurations. Experiments on the KITTI and nuScenes datasets demonstrated that existing datasets often lack sufficient independent data points to guarantee applicability of performance targets under varied conditions, suggesting a need for more rigorous testing and reporting of performance under specific triggering conditions.
