Abstract: A multimodal perception system for an autonomous vehicle includes a first sensor that is one of a video, RADAR, LIDAR, or ultrasound sensor, and a controller. The controller may be configured to, receive a first signal from a first sensor, a second signal from a second sensor, and a third signal from a third sensor, extract a first feature vector from the first signal, extract a second feature vector from the second signal, extract a third feature vector from the third signal, determine an odd-one-out vector from the first, second, and third feature vectors via an odd-one-out network of a machine learning network, based on inconsistent modality prediction, fuse the first, second, and third feature vectors and odd-one-out vector into a fused feature vector, output the fused feature vector, and control the autonomous vehicle based on the fused feature vector.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training a machine learning network. The method may include receiving an input data, selecting one or more batch samples from the input data, applying a perturbation object onto the one or more batch samples to create a perturbed sample, running the perturbed sample through the machine learning network, updating the perturbation object in response to the function in response to running the perturbed sample, and outputting the perturbation object in response to exceeding a convergence threshold.
