EVORA: Deep Evidential Traversability Learning for Risk-Aware Off-Road Autonomy

1 code implementation10 Nov 2023 Xiaoyi Cai, Siddharth Ancha, Lakshay Sharma, Philip R. Osteen, Bernadette Bucher, Stephen Phillips, Jiuguang Wang, Michael Everett, Nicholas Roy, Jonathan P. How

For uncertainty quantification, we efficiently model both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty by learning discrete traction distributions and probability densities of the traction predictor's latent features.

Active Safety Envelopes using Light Curtains with Probabilistic Guarantees

no code implementations8 Jul 2021 Siddharth Ancha, Gaurav Pathak, Srinivasa G. Narasimhan, David Held

We use light curtains to estimate the safety envelope of a scene: a hypothetical surface that separates the robot from all obstacles.

Exploiting & Refining Depth Distributions With Triangulation Light Curtains

no code implementations CVPR 2021 Yaadhav Raaj, Siddharth Ancha, Robert Tamburo, David Held, Srinivasa G. Narasimhan

Active sensing through the use of Adaptive Depth Sensors is a nascent field, with potential in areas such as Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

Robust Instance Tracking via Uncertainty Flow

no code implementations9 Oct 2020 Jianing Qian, Junyu Nan, Siddharth Ancha, Brian Okorn, David Held

Current state-of-the-art trackers often fail due to distractorsand large object appearance changes.

Combining Deep Learning and Verification for Precise Object Instance Detection

2 code implementations27 Dec 2019 Siddharth Ancha, Junyu Nan, David Held

For a reliable detection system, if a high confidence detection is made, we would want high certainty that the object has indeed been detected.

Measuring the reliability of MCMC inference with bidirectional Monte Carlo

no code implementations NeurIPS 2016 Roger B. Grosse, Siddharth Ancha, Daniel M. Roy

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is one of the main workhorses of probabilistic inference, but it is notoriously hard to measure the quality of approximate posterior samples.
