Abstract

Calibrating regression neural networks is crucial in medical imaging applications where the decision-making depends on the predicted confidence. In this study we propose a calibration procedure for regression networks that is based on scaling the predictive variance. The amount of scaling depends on the input and is a function of the predictive variance computed by the network. We thus find an entire calibration function instead of a single parameter. We report extensive experiments on a variety of image datasets and network architectures. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art results with a guarantee that the prediction accuracy is not altered.
