Abstract
A system includes a first sensor system of a first modality and a second sensor system of a second modality. The system further includes a computing system that is configured to detect and identify objects represented in sensor signals output by the first and second sensor systems. The computing system employs a hierarchical arrangement of transformers to fuse features of first sensor data output by the first sensor system and second sensor data output by the second sensor system.
