arXiv:2607.01902v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable confidence estimates are essential in semantic segmentation, especially in safety-critical settings where overconfident errors can mislead downstream decisions. Yet modern segmentation models often remain miscalibrated. Post-hoc calibration offers a practical way to correct confidence estimates without retraining the segmentation model, but its use in dense prediction raises structural issues that are often overlooked. We study two such issues. First, adding a constant to all logits leaves the softmax probabilities unchanged, but sever
The increasing deployment of AI in safety-critical applications necessitates more reliable and trustworthy systems, prompting research into improving model confidence. Recent advancements in deep learning have also highlighted calibration issues that need to be addressed.
Improving the calibration of semantic segmentation models is critical for ensuring the safe and effective integration of AI into sensitive domains like autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, and defence systems. Poor calibration can lead to overconfident errors with severe consequences.
This research introduces methodologies to improve the reliability of confidence estimates in semantic segmentation without costly retraining, offering practical improvements for deployed models and enhancing the trustworthiness of AI systems.
