Researchers have developed a new method for estimating uncertainty in object detection models without requiring retraining or architectural changes. This post-hoc evidential meta-model, named GRACE, learns to identify when object localisations are uncertain by analyzing localisation-relevant features and using saliency-guided modifications. The system combines localisation error, modification level, and prediction instability to guide the meta-model, which then estimates uncertainty for each bounding box. GRACE has shown significant improvements in detecting adversarial attacks while maintaining in-distribution performance. AI
