Deep learning has the potential to dramatically impact navigation and tracking state estimation problems critical to autonomous vehicles and robotics. Measurement uncertainties in state estimation systems based on Kalman and other Bayes filters are typically assumed to be a fixed covariance matrix. This assumption is risky, particularly for “black box” deep learning models, in which uncertainty can vary dramatically and unexpectedly. Accurate quantification of multivariate uncertainty will allow for the full potential of deep learning to be used more safely and reliably in these applications. We show how to model multivariate uncertainty for regression problems with neural networks, incorporating both aleatoric and epistemic sources of heteroscedastic uncertainty. We train a deep uncertainty covariance matrix model in two ways: directly using a multivariate Gaussian density loss function and indirectly using end-to-end training through a Kalman filter. We experimentally show in a visual tracking problem the large impact that accurate multivariate uncertainty quantification can have on the Kalman filter performance for both in-domain and out-of-domain evaluation data. We additionally show, in a challenging visual odometry problem, how end-to-end filter training can allow uncertainty predictions to compensate for filter weaknesses. |
