Out-of-Distribution Segmentation in Autonomous Driving: Problems and State of the Art

Abstract

In this paper, we review the state of the art in Out-of-Distribution (OoD) segmentation, with a focus on road obstacle detection in automated driving as a real-world application. We analyse the performance of existing methods on two widely used benchmarks, SegmentMeIfYouCan Obstacle Track and LostAndFound-NoKnown, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and real-world applicability. Additionally, we discuss key challenges and outline potential research directions to advance the field. Our goal is to provide researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive perspective on the current landscape of OoD segmentation and to foster further advancements toward safer and more reliable autonomous driving systems.
