Metrics for Event Detection

Below is a collection of metrics we applied for report facial action unit (AU) results. However, these metrics can be used for evaluating various applications involving object or event detection.

  1. ROC curve and its area under the curve
  2. Frame-based F1 score
  3. Skew-normalized F1 score
  4. Event-based F1-score

Contents

The project tree is organized as follows.

func/           directory for utility functions
README.md       this file
demoMet.m       demo of metrics given a ground truth label and a prediction

Usage

In Matlab shell:

>> cd metrics
>> demoMet

Given that the ground truth annotation label and predicted decision value decV are vectors of the same length , the function signature for different metrics are as follows:

  1. ROC: metR = getROC(label, decV)
  2. F1-frame: metF = getF1F(label, decV)
  3. F1-norm: metN = getF1N(label, decV)
  4. F1-event: metE = getF1E(label, decV)

The script has been tested on Windows 8, Ubuntu 3.11.0 and Mac X 10.9.4 without problems. Please send your feedbacks to Wen-Sheng Chu regarding any issues, bugs and improvements.
