Object detection failure measure

A computing device configured to determine a measure of an object detection failure based on an awareness of network quality and assistance from a distributed device in a network, the computing device comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the computing device to perform operations comprising:
• determine a first result of a first object detector of the computing device for a detection of at least one object in an image;
• determine a local state of the computing device, the local state comprising a first metric of a probability of a failure of the first object detector of the computing device to detect at least one object in the image;
• receive, from the distributed device, a second result of a second object detector of the distributed device for a detection of the at least one object in the image;
• determine a global state, the global state comprising a value based on a comparison of the first result of the first object detector of the computing device with the second result of the second object detector of the distributed device;
• obtain a third metric of a quality of the network;
• and
• output the measure of the object detection failure based on a merge of the local state, the global state, and the third metric.
