Conformalized Multimodal Uncertainty Regression and Reasoning

This paper introduces a lightweight uncertainty estimator capable of predicting multimodal (disjoint) uncertainty bounds by integrating conformal prediction with a deep-learning regressor. We specifically discuss its application for visual odometry (VO), where environmental features such as flying domain symmetries and sensor measurements under ambiguities and occlusion can result in multimodal uncertainties. Our simulation results show that uncertainty estimates in our framework adapt sample-wise against challenging operating conditions such as pronounced noise, limited training data, and limited parametric size of the prediction model. We also develop a reasoning framework that leverages these robust uncertainty estimates and incorporates optical flow-based reasoning to improve prediction prediction accuracy. Thus, by appropriately accounting for predictive uncertainties of data-driven learning and closing their estimation loop via rule-based reasoning, our methodology consistently surpasses conventional deep learning approaches on all these challenging scenarios--pronounced noise, limited training data, and limited model size-reducing the prediction error by 2-3x.
