WiP Abstract : Robust Out-of-distribution Motion Detection and Localization in Autonomous CPS

Abstract: Highly complex deep learning models are increasingly integrated into modern cyber-physical systems (CPS), many of which have strict safety requirements. One problem arising from this is that deep learning lacks interpretability, operating as a black box. The reliability of deep learning is heavily impacted by how well the model training data represents runtime test data, especially when the input space dimension is high as natural images. In response, we propose a robust out-of-distribution (OOD) detection framework. Our approach detects unusual movements from driving video in real-time by combining classical optic flow operation with representation learning via variational autoencoder (VAE). We also design a method to locate OOD factors in images. Evaluation on a driving simulation data set shows that our approach is statistically more robust than related works.
