Abstract
A method includes receiving a plurality of images, wherein a first image of the one or more images comprises a range image and a second image comprises a camera image and filtering the first image to generate a filtered first image. The method also includes generating a plurality of depth estimates based on the second image and generating an attention map by combining the filtered first image and the plurality of depth estimates. Additionally, the method includes generating a consistency score indicative of a consistency of depth estimates between the first image and the second image based on the attention map, modulating one or more features extracted from the second image based on the consistency score using a gating mechanism to generate modulated one or more features, and generating a classification of one or more soiled regions in the second image based on the modulated one or more features.
