TRAINING OF A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK

This disclosure is related to a method, a computer program code, and an apparatus for training a convolutional neural network for an autonomous driving system. The disclosure is further related to a convolutional neural network, to an autonomous driving system comprising a neural network, and to an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle comprising such an autonomous driving system. For training the convolutional neural network, in a first step real-world driving data are selected as training data. Furthermore, synthetic driving data are generated as training data. The convolutional neural network is then trained on the selected real-world driving data and the generated synthetic driving data using a genetic algorithm.
