Calibrating Uncertainties in Object Localization Task
In many safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving and surgical robots, it is desirable to obtain prediction uncertainties from object detection modules to help support safe decision-making. Specifically, such modules need to estimate the probability of each predicted object in a given region and the confidence interval for its bounding box. While recent Bayesian deep learning methods provide a principled way to estimate this uncertainty, the estimates for the bounding boxes obtained using these methods are uncalibrated. In this paper, we address this problem for the single-object localization task by adapting an existing technique for calibrating regression models. We show, experimentally, that the resulting calibrated model obtains more reliable uncertainty estimates.

Multiclass Confidence and Localization Calibration for Object Detection
Albeit achieving high predictive accuracy across many challenging computer vision problems, recent studies suggest that deep neural networks (DNNs) tend to make overconfident predictions, rendering them poorly calibrated…
