Abstract

A method includes receiving, from a sensing system of an autonomous vehicle (AV), image data including first image data and second image data. The method further includes determining, for a frame, whether an amount of image data matching between the first image data and the second image data satisfies a first threshold condition, in response to determining that the amount of image data matching satisfies a first threshold condition, identifying the frame as invalid, determining whether a number of consecutive frames determined to be invalid satisfies a second threshold condition, and in response to determining that the number of consecutive frames determined to be invalid satisfies the second threshold condition, generating a notification that the sensing system is outputting invalid data.
