Abstract

The main tasks of computer vision are recognition, object detection, and segmentation. Image recognition is used in a variety of industries from security systems to medical diagnostics. Object detection is a technique for locating objects and then recognizing them in real time. Segmentation is the process of dividing an image into many segments. The process of building a model can be complex, and in order for the model to fully meet the task, it is necessary to determine its effectiveness. The purpose of the study is to review the performance, accuracy, and productivity of computer vision models. The classical version of the intersection of union (IoU) indicator is described. Various modifications and improvements of the IoU such as the multi-scale IoU (MSIoU), the bounding IoU (BaIoU), and the BhIoU are presented. Particular attention is paid to the generalized intersection through union (GIoU) to eliminate the disadvantages of IOU loss. That is, the IOU loss will always be zero when two blocks do not interact – do not intersect. The performance of computer vision algorithms for object detection and segmentation is usually tested using the mean of the mean (mAP). And since mAP is based on various submetrics, we considered the confusion matrix, Intersection through Merging, Recall, and Precision. For a better understanding of the metrics, an example was demonstrated with the calculation of accuracy, precision, recall, harmonic mean of accuracy, and model sensitivity (F1-Score). Finally, it is obvious that this study has shown that these metrics can be used to check how accurate a trained model is.
