• Abstract summary: We present an improved version of our algorithm for detection of 3D bounding boxes of vehicles captured by traffic surveillance cameras. Our algorithm utilizes the known geometry of vanishing points in the surveilled scene to construct a perspective transformation. Compared to other published state-of-the-art fully automatic results our algorithm reduces the mean absolute speed measurement error by 32% (1.10 km/h to 0.75 km/h) and the absolute median error by 40% (0.97 km/h to 0.58 km/h)

• Abstract: Detection and tracking of vehicles captured by traffic surveillance cameras is a key component of intelligent transportation systems. We present an improved version of our algorithm for detection of 3D bounding boxes of vehicles, their tracking and subsequent speed estimation. Our algorithm utilizes the known geometry of vanishing points in the surveilled scene to construct a perspective transformation. The transformation enables an intuitive simplification of the problem of detecting 3D bounding boxes to detection of 2D bounding boxes with one additional parameter using a standard 2D object detector. Main contribution of this paper is an improved construction of the perspective transformation which is more robust and fully automatic and an extended experimental evaluation of speed estimation. We test our algorithm on the speed estimation task of the BrnoCompSpeed dataset. We evaluate our approach with different configurations to gauge the relationship between accuracy and computational costs and benefits of 3D bounding box detection over 2D detection. All of the tested configurations run in real-time and are fully automatic. Compared to other published state-of-the-art fully automatic results our algorithm reduces the mean absolute speed measurement error by 32% (1.10 km/h to 0.75 km/h) and the absolute median error by 40% (0.97 km/h to 0.58 km/h).

  We introduce a framework for quantifying uncertainty in 3D object detection by leveraging an evidential learning loss on Bird's Eye View representations in the 3D detector. We demonstrate both the efficacy and importance of these uncertainty estimates on identifying out-of-distribution scenes, poorly localized objects, and missing (false negative) detections.

  autonomous driving systems rely heavily on object detection to avoid collisions and drive safely. Monocular 3D object detectors try to solve this problem by directly predicting 3D bounding boxes and object velocities given a camera image. Recent research estimates time-to-contact in a per-pixel manner and suggests that it is more effective measure than velocity and depth combined. We propose per-object time-to-contact estimation by extending object detection models to additionally predict the time-to-contact attribute for each object.
