PyIRSTDMetrics: A simple and efficient implementation for the IRSTD performance analysis

Introduction

A simple and efficient implementation for the IRSTD performance analysis.

• Based on numpy、scikit-image and scipy.
• Verification based on https://github.com/XinyiYing/BasicIRSTD
• The code structure is simple and easy to extend
• The code is lightweight and fast

Your improvements and suggestions are welcome.

Supported Metrics

Metric	Sample-based	Whole-based	Related Class	Level
IoU	max,avg,adp,bin (nIoU)	bin (IoU)	CMMetrics+IOUHandler	pixel
F1	max,avg,adp,bin	bin	CMMetrics+FmeasureHandler	pixel
Precision	max,avg,adp,bin	bin	CMMetrics+PrecisionHandler	pixel
Recall	max,avg,adp,bin	bin	CMMetrics+RecallHandler	pixel
TPR	max,avg,adp,bin	bin	CMMetrics+TPRHandler	pixel
FPR	max,avg,adp,bin	bin	CMMetrics+FPRHandler	pixel
Pd/Fa		✔	MatchingBasedMetrics+DistanceOnlyMatching/OPDCMatching	target
hIoU		✔	MatchingBasedMetrics+OPDCMatching	hybrid
hIoU-based loc error analysis		✔	HierarchicalIoUBasedErrorAnalysis
hIoU-based seg error analysis		✔	HierarchicalIoUBasedErrorAnalysis

NOTE:

• If you want to align the original implementation, use DistanceOnlyMatching.
• If you want a more reasonable matching effect, use OPDCMatching we designed.
• hIoU is a new metric that balances both pixel-level and target-level performance analysis and we provide a detailed error analysis tool based on it.

As shown in plot_average_metrics of examples/metric_recorder.py:

• precision and recall sequences can be used to plot the PR curve.
• TPR and FPR sequences can be used to plot the ROC curve.

Usage

The core files are in the folder py_irstd_metrics.

• [Latest, but may be unstable] Install from the source code: pip install git+https://github.com/lartpang/PyIRSTDMetrics.git
• [More stable] Install from PyPI: pip install pyirstdmetrics
