Abstract

In one implementation, a method of generating a confidence value for a result from a primary task is performed at an image processing system. The method includes obtaining, by a feature extractor portion of the neural network, a set of feature maps for an image data frame; generating a contextual information vector associated with the image data frame based on results from one or more auxiliary tasks performed on the set of feature maps by an auxiliary task sub-network portion of the neural network; performing, by a primary task sub-network portion of the neural network, a primary task on the set of feature maps for the image data frame in order to generate a primary task result; and generating a confidence value based on the contextual information vector, wherein the confidence value corresponds to a reliability metric for the primary task result.
