Abstract

The chapter delves into the critical issue of corner case detection in autonomous driving, focusing on the uncertainty modeling of instance segmentation networks. It introduces a novel method using Monte-Carlo dropout to estimate epistemic uncertainty, enabling the detection of challenging scenarios that are difficult to classify or underrepresented in training data. The approach involves extending the architecture of Mask R-CNN with dropout layers to model both position and class uncertainties, and then clustering the predictions to detect corner cases. The chapter also highlights the importance of iteratively improving the model by incorporating these corner cases into future training datasets. By addressing the limitations of current methods and presenting a powerful, yet simple approach, this chapter offers valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field of autonomous driving and machine learning.
