Abstract
A method for identifying a current context and determining a sensor combination based on the current environment. The method may comprise accepting a plurality of sensor outputs and implementing a CNN to convert the sensor outputs into a plurality of features that can be used to identify the context through use of a gating algorithm that additionally determines which sensors have the most importance and which have little or no importance. The method may further comprise executing sensor fusion in a manner corresponding to the context. For example, the context determines whether early fusion or late fusion should be implemented and which sensor outputs should be included in the said fusion.
