Method and system for multi-sensor fusion in the presence of missing and noisy labels

Abstract

This disclosure relates to a method and system for multi-sensor fusion in the presence of missing and noisy labels. Prior methods for multi-sensor fusion do not estimate and correct labels for learning effective models in semi-supervised learning methods. Embodiments of the present disclosure provides a method for learning robust sensor-specific autoencoder based fusion model by utilizing a graph structure to perform label propagation and correction. In the disclosed Graph regularized AutoFuse (GAF) method latent representation for each sensor is learnt using the sensor-specific autoencoders. Further these latent representations are combined and fed to a classifier for multi-class classification. The disclosure presents a joint optimization formulation for multi-sensor fusion where label propagation and correction, sensor-specific learning and classification are executed together.
