Changes in Real Time: Online Scene Change Detection with Multi-View Fusion

CVPR 2026

Online Scene Change Detection (SCD) is an extremely challenging problem that requires an agent to detect relevant changes on the fly while observing the scene from unconstrained viewpoints. Existing online SCD methods are significantly less accurate than offline approaches. We present the first onli

Backdoor Mitigation via Invertible Pruning Masks

NeurIPS 2025poster

Model pruning has gained traction as a promising defense strategy against backdoor attacks in deep learning. However, existing pruning-based approaches often fall short in accurately identifying and removing the specific parameters responsible for inducing backdoor behaviors. Despite the dominance o…

Multi-View Pose-Agnostic Change Localization with Zero Labels

CVPR 2025poster

Autonomous agents often require accurate methods for detecting and localizing changes in their environment, particularly when observations are captured from unconstrained and inconsistent viewpoints. We propose a novel label-free, pose-agnostic change detection method that integrates information fro…

Density-aware NeRF Ensembles: Quantifying Predictive Uncertainty in Neural Radiance Fields

ICRA 2023poster

We show that ensembling effectively quantifies model uncertainty in Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) if a density-aware epistemic uncertainty term is considered. The naive ensembles investigated in prior work simply average rendered RGB images to quantify the model uncertainty caused by conflicting ex…

Never mind the metrics---what about the uncertainty? Visualising binary confusion matrix metric distributions to put performance in perspective

ICML 2023poster

There are strong incentives to build classification systems that show outstanding performance on various datasets and benchmarks. This can encourage a narrow focus on models and the performance metrics used to evaluate and compare them—resulting in a growing body of literature to evaluate and compar…

SAFE: Sensitivity-Aware Features for Out-of-Distribution Object Detection

ICCV 2023poster

We address the problem of out-of-distribution (OOD) detection for the task of object detection. We show that residual convolutional layers with batch normalisation produce Sensitivity-Aware FEatures (SAFE) that are consistently powerful for distinguishing in-distribution from out-of-distribution det…

Uncertainty-Aware Lidar Place Recognition in Novel Environments

IROS 2023poster

State-of-the-art lidar place recognition models exhibit unreliable performance when tested on environments different from their training dataset, which limits their use in complex and evolving environments. To address this issue, we investigate the task of uncertainty-aware lidar place recognition,…

Uncertainty for Identifying Open-Set Errors in Visual Object Detection

RA-L 2022

Deployed into an open world, object detectors are prone to open-set errors, false positive detections of object classes not present in the training dataset.We propose GMM-Det, a real-time method for extracting epistemic uncertainty from object detectors to identify and reject open-set errors. GMM-De

What's in the Black Box? The False Negative Mechanisms Inside Object Detectors

RA-L 2022

In object detection, false negatives arise when a detector fails to detect a target object. To understand <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">why</i> object detectors produce false negatives, we identify five ‘false negative mechanisms,’

Evaluating Merging Strategies for Sampling-based Uncertainty Techniques in Object Detection

ICRA 2019poster

There has been a recent emergence of sampling-based techniques for estimating epistemic uncertainty in deep neural networks. While these methods can be applied to classification or semantic segmentation tasks by simply averaging samples, this is not the case for object detection, where detection sam…

Dropout Sampling for Robust Object Detection in Open-Set Conditions

ICRA 2018poster

Dropout Variational Inference, or Dropout Sampling, has been recently proposed as an approximation technique for Bayesian Deep Learning and evaluated for image classification and regression tasks. This paper investigates the utility of Dropout Sampling for object detection for the first time. We dem…
