Semi-Dense Matching Uncertainty Is Not Just Local Confidence

Reliable semi-dense matching is essential for modern geometric vision systems. Designed under a coarse-to-fine paradigm, it achieves an optimal balance between performance and computational cost. However, existing methods often struggle to provide well-quantified uncertainties, where catastrophic coarse-assignment failures are ignored, leading to truncated error distributions and severely misjudged geometric estimations. In this paper, we propose a lightweight, post-hoc overall uncertainty estimation framework that introduces a two-component calibrated Laplace mixture model with only 9 learnable parameters. The objective is to explicitly capture both the sharp local refinement noise and the broader tail of coarse-assignment failures. We introduce the Coarse-success posterior Refit (CoRe) method, a geometric refitting module that utilizes the posterior probability of coarse-assignment success as soft correspondence weights. Extensive experiments show that our method consistently improves downstream geometric accuracy across various pretrained-only matchers and robust estimators with minimal computational overhead. Our code is available at https://github.com/khoavpt/Probabilistic-matching.

Stratified Domain Adaptation: A Progressive Self-Training Approach for Scene Text Recognition

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has become increasingly prevalent in scene text recognition (STR), especially where training and testing data reside in different domains. The efficacy of existing UDA approaches tends to degrade when there is a large gap between the source and target domains. To deal with this problem, gradually shifting or progressively learning to shift from domain to domain is the key issue. In this paper, we introduce the Stratified Domain Adaptation (StrDA) approach, which examines the gradual escalation of the domain gap for the learning process. The objective is to partition the training data into subsets so that the progressively self-trained model can adapt to gradual changes. We stratify the training data by evaluating the proximity of each data sample to both the source and target domains. We propose a novel method for employing domain discriminators to estimate the out-of-distribution and domain discriminative levels of data samples. Extensive experiments on benchmark scene-text datasets show that our approach significantly improves the performance of baseline (source-trained) STR models.
