This evaluation uses results computed by the challenge organizers39 upon submission of our test set results (where no ground truth was provided). The AttUnet(XAI) performance was assessed using the challenge metrics against the test ground truth masks. The OPCSB metric is defined as 0.5×(DET+SEG). Here, DET=1-min(AOGM-D,AOGM-D0)AOGM-D0, which represents the normalized Acyclic Oriented Graph Matching (AOGM-D) measure for detection40. The SEG measure employs the Jaccard similarity index, expressed as J(S,R)=|RS||RS|, where R is the set of pixels in a reference object and S is the set of pixels in its matching segmented object. A reference object R and a segmented object S are considered matching if |RS|>0.5×|R|. The top-performing apporach per dataset and per metric are mentioned as follow (approach : score) from CTC website39.
