多目标分类的混淆矩阵

After training a machine learning classifier, the next step is to evaluate its performance using relevant metric(s). The confusion matrix is one of the evaluation metrics.

训练完机器学习分类器后，下一步就是使用相关指标评估其性能。 混淆矩阵是评估指标之一。

A confusion matrix is a table showing the performance of a classifier given some truth values/instances (supervised learning kind of).

混淆矩阵是一个表，显示在给定一些真值/实例(监督学习的情况)的情况下分类器的性能。

But calculating of confusion matrix for object detection and instance segmentation tasks is less intuitive. First, it is necessary to understand another supporting metric: Intersection over Union (IoU). A key role in calculating metrics for object detection and instance segmentation tasks is played by Intersection over Union (IoU).

但是，用于对象检测和实例分割任务的混淆矩阵的计算不太直观。 首先，有必要了解另一种支持指标：联盟交叉口(IoU)。 Intersection over Union(IoU)在计算对象检测和实例分割任务的度量标准中扮演着关键角色。

联合路口(IoU) (Intersection over Union (IoU))

IoU, also called Jaccard index, is a metric that evaluates the overlap between the ground-truth mask (gt) and the predicted mask (pd). In object detection, we can use IoU to determine if a given detection is valid or not.

IoU (也称为Jaccard索引 )是一种度量，用于评估地面真假蒙版( gt )与预测蒙版( pd )之间的重叠。 在对象检测中，我们可以使用IoU来确定给定的检测是否有效。

IoU is calculated as the area of overlap/intersection between gt and pd divided by the area of the union between the two, that is,

将IoU计算为gt和pd之间的重叠/交叉区域除以两者之间的并集区域，即

Diagrammatically, IoU is defined as shown below:

IoU的示意图如下所示：

Note: IoU metric ranges from 0 and 1 with 0 signifying no overlap and 1 implying a perfect overlap between gt and pd.

注意： IoU度量值的范围是0和1，其中0表示没有重叠，而1表示gt和pd之间存在完美的重叠。

A confusion matrix is made up of 4 components, namely, True Positive (TP), True Negative (TN)
