Abstract:
Systems and techniques are provided for blocked sensor detection and notification. A signal may be received from a sensor. The sensor may be determined to be producing anomalous output based on checking the signal from the sensor against a signal from a second sensor on the same sensor device as the sensor, checking the signal from the sensor against signals from sensors on additional sensor devices, and checking the signal from the sensor against a slow temporal model for the sensor. In response to the determination that the sensor is producing anomalous output, a notification may be generated indicating the sensor is producing anomalous output, and a confidence level in the sensor may be degraded.
