• Abstract: Traversability estimation in off-road environments requires a robust perception system. Recently, approaches to learning a traversability estimation from past vehicle experiences in a self-supervised manner are arising as they can greatly reduce human labeling costs and labeling errors. Nonetheless, the learning setting from self-supervised traversability estimation suffers from congenital uncertainties that appear according to the scarcity of negative information. Negative data are rarely harvested as the system can be severely damaged while logging the data. To mitigate the uncertainty, we introduce a method to incorporate unlabeled data in order to leverage the uncertainty. First, we design a learning architecture that inputs query and support data. Second, unlabeled data are assigned based on the proximity in the metric space. Third, a new metric for uncertainty measures is introduced. We evaluated our approach on our own dataset, `Dtrail', which is composed of a wide variety of negative data.

  This work presents a segmentation network that can detect errors caused by challenging test domains without any additional annotation in a single forward pass. We use easy-to-obtain, uncurated and unlabelled data to learn to perform uncertainty estimation selectively by enforcing consistency over data augmentation. The proposed method, named Gamma-SSL, consistently outperforms uncertainty estimation and Out-of-Distribution (OoD) techniques on this difficult benchmark.

  In Open Scene Semi-Supervised Object Detection (O-SSOD), unlabeled data may contain unknown objects not observed in the labeled data. It is detrimental to the current methods that mainly rely on self-training, as more uncertainty leads to the lower localization and classification precision of pseudo labels. We propose Credible Teacher, an end-to-end framework to prevent uncertain pseudo labels from misleading the model.

We propose a novel adaptive negative optimization strategy, making EDL more tailored to the unlabeled dataset containing both inliers and outliers.
