The paper presents a two-step method to correct machine‑learning based perception for safety in autonomous systems. First, it uses offline computation to characterize uncertainties from the ML module via preimages of perception contracts. Then, at runtime, a risk heuristic selects specific states from these uncertain estimates to guide control decisions, reducing safety violations in adaptive cruise control scenarios while adding minimal delay.
