An easy-to-use, general toolbox to compute and evaluate the effect of object detection and instance segmentation on overall performance. This is the code for our paper: TIDE: A General Toolbox for Identifying Object Detection Errors (ArXiv) [ECCV2020 Spotlight].

Check out our ECCV 2020 short video for an explanation of what TIDE can do:

Installation

TIDE is available as a python package for python 3.6+ as tidecv. To install, simply install it with pip:

pip3 install tidecv

The current version is v1.0.1 (changelog).

Usage

TIDE is meant as a drop-in replacement for the COCO Evaluation toolkit, and getting started is easy:

from tidecv import TIDE, datasets

tide = TIDE()
tide.evaluate(datasets.COCO(), datasets.COCOResult('path/to/your/results/file'), mode=TIDE.BOX) # Use TIDE.MASK for masks
tide.summarize()  # Summarize the results as tables in the console
tide.plot()       # Show a summary figure. Specify a folder and it'll output a png to that folder.

This prints evaluation summary tables to the console:

-- mask_rcnn_bbox --

bbox AP @ 50: 61.80
