US Patent 11391825 Sensor calibration parameter sensitivity analysis

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining that prediction outputs generated by a prediction system are sensitive to variations in the values of one or more of a set of target sensor calibration parameters. In one aspect, a sensitivity analysis system is configured to perform operations comprising updating the values of one or more target sensor calibration parameters of each sensor data tuple of a plurality sensor data tuples, comprising, for each sensor data tuple: providing the sensor data tuple with the current values of the target sensor calibration parameters to the prediction subsystem to generate a current prediction output; determining a gradient of a function of the current prediction output with respect to the target sensor calibration parameters; and updating the current values of the target sensor calibration parameters of the sensor data tuple using the gradient.
