RGB cameras failures and their effects in autonomous driving applications
Francesco Secci, Andrea Ceccarelli
RGB cameras are one of the most relevant sensors for autonomous driving applications. It is undeniable that failures of vehicle cameras may compromise the autonomous driving task, possibly leading to unsafe behaviors when images that are subsequently processed by the driving system are altered. To support the definition of safe and robust vehicle architectures and intelligent systems, in this paper we define the failure modes of a vehicle camera, together with an analysis of effects and known mitigations. Further, we build a software library for the generation of the corresponding failed images and we feed them to six object detectors for mono and stereo cameras and to the self-driving agent of an autonomous driving simulator. The resulting misbehaviors with respect to operating with clean images allow a better understanding of failures effects and the related safety risks in image-based applications.
