This thesis explores the integration of Bayesian neural network components into sensor fusion models to explicitly represent uncertainty under changing sensor configurations. By modeling fusion parameters as probability distributions rather than fixed weights, the approach enables the estimation of epistemic uncertainty when sensor inputs differ from those seen during training.
Aufgaben
- Identify and understand relevant literature on Bayesian neural networks and sensor fusion.
- Integrate a Bayesian neural network component into an existing sensor fusion model.
- Run a benchmark with different sensor configurations to assess whether configuration uncertainty can be captured by the Bayesian component
