Computes the mean Intersection-Over-Union metric

metric_mean_iou(..., num_classes, name = NULL, dtype = NULL)

Arguments

... Passed on to the underlying metric. Used for forwards and backwards compatibility. The possible number of labels the prediction task can have. This value must be provided, since a confusion matrix of dim c(num_classes, num_classes) will be allocated. (Optional) string name of the metric instance. (Optional) data type of the metric result.

Value

A (subclassed) Metric instance that can be passed directly to compile(metrics = ), or used as a standalone object. See ?Metric for example usage.

Details

Mean Intersection-Over-Union is a common evaluation metric for semantic image segmentation, which first computes the IOU for each semantic class and then computes the average over classes. IOU is defined as follows:

IOU = true_positive / (true_positive + false_positive + false_negative)

The predictions are accumulated in a confusion matrix, weighted by sample_weight and the metric is then calculated from it.

If sample_weight is NULL, weights default to 1. Use sample_weight of 0 to mask values.
