In order to deploy automated vehicles to the public, it has to be proven that the vehicle can safely and robustly handle traffic in many different scenarios. One important component of automated vehicles is the perception system that captures and processes the environment around the vehicle. Perception systems require large datasets for training their deep neural network. Knowing which parts of the data in these datasets describe a corner case is an advantage during training or testing of the network. These corner cases describe situations that are rare and potentially challenging for the network. We propose a pipeline that converts collective expert knowledge descriptions into the extended KI Absicherung ontology. The ontology is used to describe scenes and scenarios that can be mapped to perception datasets. The corner cases can then be extracted from the datasets. In addition, the pipeline enables the evaluation of the detection networks against the extracted corner cases to measure their performance.
