    Abstract: Systems and methods for defect detection for vehicle operations, including collecting a multiple modality input data stream from a plurality of different types of vehicle sensors, extracting one or more features from the input data stream using a grid-based feature extractor, and retrieving spatial attributes of objects positioned in any of a plurality of cells of the grid-based feature extractor. One or more anomalies are detected based on residual scores generated by each of cross attention-based anomaly detection and time-series-based anomaly detection. One or more defects are identified based on a generated overall defect score determined by integrating the residual scores for the cross attention-based anomaly detection and the time-series based anomaly detection being above a predetermined defect score threshold. Operation of the vehicle is controlled based on the one or more defects identified.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for data fusion and analysis of vehicle sensor data, including receiving a multiple modality input data stream from a plurality of different types of vehicle sensors, determining latent features by extracting modality-specific features from the input data stream, and aligning a distribution of the latent features of different modalities by feature-level data fusion. Classification probabilities can be determined for the latent features using a fused modality scene classifier. A tree-organized neural network can be trained to determine path probabilities and issue driving pattern judgments, with the tree-organized neural network including a soft tree model and a hard decision leaf. One or more driving pattern judgments can be issued based on a probability of possible driving patterns derived from the modality-specific features.
