Abstract
An electronic device may be configured to detect a fault in imaging and vision hardware accelerators. The electronic device may include a controller configured to select a first golden input frame of multiple golden input frames to perform a first self-test, and retrieve a first reference image signature corresponding to the first golden input frame. The electronic device may include a hardware accelerator module configured to obtain the first golden input frame, and generate a first output frame based on the first golden input frame. The electronic device may include a signature generator configured to generate a first generated image signature based on the first output frame. The electronic device may include a signature comparison module configured to compare the first generated image signature to the first reference image signature in order to determine whether the hardware accelerator module includes a fault at a first time.
