In autonomous driving, transparency in the decision-making of perception models is critical, as even a single misperception can be catastrophic. Yet with multi-sensor inputs, it is difficult to determine how each modality contributes to a prediction because sensor information becomes entangled within the fusion network. We introduce Layer-Wise Modality Decomposition (LMD), a post-hoc, model-agnostic interpretability method that disentangles modality-specific information across all layers of a pretrained fusion model. To our knowledge, LMD is the first approach to attribute the predictions of a perception model to individual input modalities in a sensor-fusion system for autonomous driving. We evaluate LMD on pretrained fusion models under camera-radar, camera-LiDAR, and camera-radar-LiDAR settings for autonomous driving. Its effectiveness is validated using structured perturbation-based metrics and modality-wise visual decompositions, demonstrating practical applicability to interpreting high-capacity multimodal architectures.

Reliable off-road navigation requires accurate estimation of traversable regions and robust perception under diverse terrain and sensing conditions. However, existing datasets lack both scalability and multi-modality, which limits progress in 3D traversability prediction. In this work, we introduce STONE, a large-scale multi-modal dataset for off-road navigation. STONE provides (1) trajectory-guided 3D traversability maps generated by a fully automated, annotation-free pipeline, and (2) comprehensive surround-view sensing with synchronized 128-channel LiDAR, six RGB cameras, and three 4D imaging radars. The dataset covers a wide range of environments and conditions, including day and night, grasslands, farmlands, construction sites, and lakes. Our auto-labeling pipeline reconstructs dense terrain surfaces from LiDAR scans, extracts geometric attributes such as slope, elevation, and roughness, and assigns traversability labels beyond the robot's trajectory using a Mahalanobis-distance-based criterion. This design enables scalable, geometry-aware ground-truth construction without manual annotation. Finally, we establish a benchmark for voxel-level 3D traversability prediction and provide strong baselines under both single-modal and multi-modal settings.
