Intersection Over Union (IoU) and Evaluation Metrics

How It's Computed

Mathematically, IoU is given by:

Where:

  • Area of Overlap is the intersection of the predicted and actual bounding boxes;

  • Area of Union is the total area covered by both boxes.

IoU as a Metric for Bounding Box Accuracy

IoU is commonly used to assess how well a predicted bounding box aligns with the ground truth. Higher IoU values indicate better alignment, with an IoU of 1.0 meaning perfect overlap and 0.0 meaning no overlap at all.

Thresholding IoU for True Positives and False Positives

To determine whether a detection is correct (true positive) or incorrect (false positive), a threshold for IoU is typically set. Commonly used thresholds include:

  • IoU > 0.5: considered a True Positive (TP);

  • IoU < 0.5: considered a False Positive (FP).

Setting higher IoU thresholds increases precision but may decrease recall since fewer detections meet the criteria.

Evaluation Metrics: Precision, Recall, and mAP

In addition to IoU, other evaluation metrics help assess object detection models:

  • Precision: measures the proportion of correctly predicted bounding boxes among all predictions;

Precision=TPTP+FP\text{Precision}=\frac{\text{TP}}{\text{TP}+\text{FP}}
  • Recall: measures the proportion of correctly predicted bounding boxes among all ground truth objects;

Recall=TPTP+FN\text{Recall}=\frac{\text{TP}}{\text{TP}+\text{FN}}
  • Mean Average Precision (mAP): computes the average precision across different IoU thresholds and object categories, providing a comprehensive evaluation of model performance.

def precision_recall(tp, fp, fn): precision = tp / (tp + fp) if (tp + fp) > 0 else 0 recall = tp / (tp + fn) if (tp + fn) > 0 else 0 return precision, recall # Example usage tp, fp, fn = 50, 10, 20 precision, recall = precision_recall(tp, fp, fn) print(f"Precision: {precision:.2f}, Recall: {recall:.2f}")

IoU serves as a fundamental metric in evaluating object detection models, helping assess the accuracy of predicted bounding boxes. By combining IoU with precision, recall, and mAP, researchers and engineers can fine-tune their models to achieve higher detection accuracy and reliability.
