Abstract
A method for monitoring a reliability of an output of a sensor fusion system of a vehicle is disclosed. At first, an input data, including sensor data obtained over a period of time from each of vehicle-mounted sensors, which are configured to monitor a surrounding environment of the vehicle, of the sensor fusion system is stored. Perception output data that is output from the sensor fusion system, includes object detections and free-space area indications in the surrounding environment of the vehicle. The obtained perception output data is then compared with the stored input data and determined whether any object detections indicated in the obtained perception output data is indicated in the field-of-view of that sensor in order to validate any object detections and free-space area indications in the obtained perception output data. Accordingly, a signal indicative of a status of the sensor fusion system is outputted.
