• Abstract: Motivated by the need to identify erroneous disparity assignments, various approaches for uncertainty and confidence estimation of dense stereo matching have been presented in recent years. As in many other fields, especially deep learning based methods have shown convincing results. However, most of these methods only model the uncertainty contained in the data, while ignoring the uncertainty of the employed dense stereo matching procedure. Additionally modelling the latter, however, is particularly beneficial if the domain of the training data varies from that of the data to be processed. For this purpose, in the present work the idea of probabilistic deep learning is applied to the task of dense stereo matching for the first time. Based on the well-known and commonly employed GC-Net architecture, a novel probabilistic neural network is presented, for the task of joint depth and uncertainty estimation from epipolar rectified stereo image pairs. Instead of learning the network parameters directly, the proposed probabilistic neural network learns a probability distribution from which parameters are sampled for every prediction. The variations between multiple such predictions on the same image pair allow to approximate the model uncertainty. The quality of the estimated depth and uncertainty information is assessed in an extensive evaluation on three different datasets.

  We develop an algorithm that exploits the latent-space representation of data points fed into the network to assess the accuracy of their prediction. We show on a synthetic dataset that commonly used methods are mostly overconfident. In contrast, our method can detect such out-of-distribution data points as inaccurately predicted, thus aiding in the automatic detection of outliers.

  Neural networks have proven successful at learning from complex data distributions by acting as universal function approximators. They are often overconfident in their predictions, which leads to inaccurate and miscalibrated probabilistic predictions. We propose a solution by seeking out regions of feature space where the model is unjustifiably overconfident, and conditionally raising the entropy of those predictions towards that of the prior distribution of the labels.

  Deep neural networks are often ignorant about what they do not know and overconfident when they make uninformed predictions. Some recent approaches quantify uncertainty directly by training the model to output high uncertainty for the data samples close to class boundaries or from the outside of the training distribution. We develop a novel neural network model that is able to express both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty to distinguish decision boundary and out-of-distribution regions.
