An Error Metric for Binary Images

  author={Adrian J. Baddeley},

}
The discrepancy between two binary images is traditionally measured by either thèstatistical' misclassiication error rate, or by Pratt's 1] Figure Of Merit. We discuss weaknesses of these measures, and introduce an improved metric which has both a theoretical basis 2] and intuitive appeal. The error measures are compared on artiicial data and on the standard chessboard test for edge detectors.

Errors in Binary Images and an L P Version of the Hausdorr Metric
TLDR
A metric is introduced which is an L p modiication of the Hausdorr metric, which generates the myopic topology yet has many features in common with L p metrics, including better robustness against noise.

TLDR
The results show that the proposed distortion measure matches well to subjective evaluation by human visual perception.
Distance-reciprocal distortion measure for binary document images

A Review on Image Distortion Measures
Within this paper we review image distortion measures. A distortion measure is a criterion that assigns a "quality number" to an image. We distinguish between mathematical distortion measures and…
Dissimilarity measures in color spaces
TLDR
The aim of the paper is to study the behavior of dissimilarity measures in different color spaces, and to compare the results with those obtained by subjective testing.
A New Normalized Supervised Edge Detection Evaluation
TLDR
In this paper, several referenced-based boundary detection evaluations are detailed, pointing their advantages and disadvantages through concrete examples of edge images, and a new supervised edge map quality measure is proposed, comparing a ground truth contour image, the candidate contours image and their associated spacial nearness.
Towards an objective edge detection algorithm based on discrete t-norms
TLDR
A comparative analysis of different techniques in order to transform a gray-scale edge image to a thin binary edge image is performed according to some performance measures, such as Pratt's figure of merit, Baddeley's measure and the ρ-coefficient.
Loss Functions for Bayesian Image Analysis
TLDR
The role of loss functions in Bayesian image classification, object recognition and identification is discussed, and the use of a particular loss function which produces visually attractive estimates is reviewed.
New discrepancy measures for segmentation evaluation
TLDR
New evaluation measures for scene segmentation results are proposed, which are based on computing the difference between a region extracted from a segmentation map and the corresponding one on an ideal segmentation.

In this comment, the authors show that although Canny's derivation was in error, the final form of his criterion is adequate and can, in fact, be derived from Tagare and deFigueiredo's formulation of the problem.
