Autonomous vehicles (AV) come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from small passenger cars to multi-axle semi-trucks. However, a perception algorithm deployed on these vehicles must be trained to handle similar situations, like avoiding an obstacle or a pedestrian. The datasets used to develop and validate these algorithms are typically collected by one type of…
