Definition
A perception error model describes the discrepancies between observed sensory data and ground truth, accounting for noise, occlusion, or sensor limitations. By modeling these errors, AI systems can improve robustness through techniques like Bayesian inference or Kalman filtering. This is essential for reliable operation in uncertain environments, allowing agents to weigh evidence appropriately and make decisions despite imperfect perceptual inputs.
