Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices for estimating a shape of an object based on sensor data and determining a presence of a fault or a failure in a perception system. A method of the disclosure includes receiving sensor data from a range sensor and calculating a current shape reconstruction of an object based on the sensor data. The method includes retrieving from memory a prior shape reconstruction of the object based on prior sensor data. The method includes calculating a quality score for the current shape reconstruction by balancing a function of resulted variances of the current shape reconstruction and a similarity between the current shape reconstruction and the prior shape reconstruction.
