Abstract
In various embodiments, method, systems, and vehicles are provided that include: obtaining, via one or more sensors, sensor data pertaining including one or more images of one or more detected objects in proximity to a vehicle; processing the one or more images via a neural network model of a perception system of the vehicle, generating perception results for the one or more images; analyzing, via a processor, a plurality of potential faults in the perception system, based on the perception results, using a respective different technique for each of the plurality of potential faults, for the neural network model; determining a fault of the plurality of potential faults, via the processor, based on the analyzing; and taking a vehicle control action with respect to the vehicle, based on the fault, via instructions provided by the processor.
