Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon for classifying a detected object in an image at an automated driving system (ADS), that upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to: generate image embeddings associated with at least a portion of an image generated by a vehicle sensor system, the at least the portion of the image including an object; generate concept embeddings associated with each of a plurality of concepts, each of the plurality of concepts being associated with one of at least two object classes; generate a confidence score for each of the plurality of concepts based on the image embeddings and the concept embeddings associated with the concept; generate a predicted object class of the object based on an association between a set of concepts of the plurality of concepts having at least two of the highest values of the generated confidence scores and the one of the at least two object classes associated with a majority of the set of concepts; and manage performance of the autonomous vehicle based in part on the predicted object class of the object.
