Evaluation indicators of a model’s predictive performance

Scenario Name Definition Interpretation
Detection and segmentation Recall R=TPTP+FP The fraction of positive examples in the whole sample that are predicted to be correct
Precision P=TPTP+FN The fraction of true positive samples in the predicted positive samples
Accuracy ACC=TP+TNTP+FP+TN+FN The fraction of samples that are predicted to be correct out of all samples
F-score F1=2TP2TP+FP+FN The harmonic mean of precision and recall
Intersection over union IoU=PGPG The fraction of the intersection of the predicted bounding boxes (P) and the ground-truth bounding boxes (G) to the union
Detection Mean average precision MAP=1nk=1k=nAPk The mean of the average scores of a group of queries [65], where n is the number of classes and APk is the average precision of class k
Segmentation Dice coefficient Dice=2TPFP+2TP+FN The function that evaluates the similarity of two contour regions

TP stands for true positive, FP stands for false positive, FN stands for false negative, and TN stands for true negative
