Instance-Level Post Hoc Uncertainty Quantification in Object Detection
Researchers have developed a new method called Monte-Carlo generalized linearized model (MC-GLM) for quantifying uncertainty in object detection. This approach is designed to be instance-level and post hoc, meaning it can be applied after a model has been trained without requiring retraining. The method aims to improve safety assurance in critical applications like autonomous driving by providing reliable uncertainty estimates for bounding-box predictions. Experiments on the nuScenes dataset demonstrated the effectiveness of MC-GLM. AI
