The Robotic Vision Probabilistic Object Detection Challenge

This workshop will bring together the participants of the first Robotic Vision Challenge, a new competition targeting both the computer vision and robotics communities. The new challenge focuses on probabilistic object detection. The novelty is the probabilistic aspect for detection: A new metric evaluates both the spatial and semantic uncertainty of the object detector and segmentation system. Providing reliable uncertainty information is essential for robotics applications where actions triggered by erroneous but high-confidence perception can lead to catastrophic results.
