Revision history [back]

For anyone who has worked on image segmentation, can you please explain to me what these 2 metrics mean ? I am still quite unsure of how they are computed. I cannot find a paper that specifically mentions what they are.

From Contours to Regions: An Empirical Evaluation https://vision.ics.uci.edu/papers/ArbelaezMFM_CVPR_2009/ArbelaezMFM_CVPR_2009.pdf

Currently this is how I think the ODS, OIS scores are generated (not specific to that paper). Can someone please confirm ?

  1. Run edge detector on image, getting an edge map
  2. Given the ground truth, get the precision-recall scores with recall from 0 to max
  3. Get the F scores for each precision-recall score
  4. Optimal dataset scale is the threshold at which the F score is maximized across the dataset
  5. Optimal image scale is the threshold at which the F score is maximized across each image
