Abstract

Provided are a data processing method and apparatus. The method includes: After a plurality of ground truth boxes that correspond to a lidar point cloud and a millimeter-wave radar point cloud are obtained, for unification of coordinate systems of the plurality of ground truth boxes and the millimeter-wave radar point cloud, position transformation further needs to be performed on the plurality of ground truth boxes until in all the ground truth boxes, a proportion of a quantity of ground truth boxes whose quantity of millimeter-wave radar point clouds reaches a preset threshold in a total quantity of ground truth boxes reaches a preset proportion, and then the plurality of ground truth boxes on which position transformation is performed and the millimeter-wave radar point cloud are trained, to generate a target detection model. This can avoid an inaccurate training result caused because a reflection point exists at a scattering energy center and does not correspond to a position of a ground truth box due to a working principle of a millimeter-wave radar based on an electromagnetic wave, and can optimize a training dataset of the target detection model, to improve accuracy of the target detection model.
