APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION OF AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

An apparatus and method for detecting performance degradation of an autonomous vehicle include a storage configured to store a deep learning model used for image recognition in the autonomous vehicle and a controller configured to determine entropy of each pixel among a plurality of pixels in an output image of the deep learning model, determine an average value of the entropy of the plurality of pixels, and detect performance degradation of the deep learning model based on the average value of the entropy of the plurality of pixels.
