1. RARE: Learning to RAnk and REtrieve for Monocular 3D Object Detection
-
CVPR 2026 (Highlight)
-
RARE rethinks confidence learning in monocular 3D detection by casting it as a ranking problem rather than score regression. By aligning predictions with relative geometric quality, we obtain more stable and reliable confidence estimates. We further model multimodal 3D ambiguity through diverse hypothesis generation and retrieval.
