Abstract

A system for a reliability of objects for a driver assistance or automated driving of a vehicle includes a plurality of sensors that include one or more sensor modalities for providing sensor data for the objects. An electronic tracking unit is configured to receive the sensor data to determine a detection probability (p_D) for each of the plurality of sensors for each of the objects, to determine an existence probability (p_ex) for each of the plurality of sensors for each of the objects, and to provide vectors for each of the objects based on the existence probability (p_ex) for each contributing one of the plurality of sensors for the specific object. The vectors are provided by the electronic tracking unit for display as an object interface on a display device. The vectors are independent from the sensor data from the plurality of sensors.
