Performance measures applied in artery/vein classification.

MetricDescription

Mean Accuracythe ratio of the correctly classified pixels averaged over the classes
Global accuracyIt measures the ratio of pixels accurately classified in the dataset.
Mean Intersection over Union (mIoU)The similarity comparison between the class resulting from the prediction and the actual ground truth class
Weighted Intersection over Union (wIoU)Performs IoU average weighted by the number of pixels in every class
Mean BF ScoreThis performance metric measures how accurate the boundaries of the predicted objects match the boundaries of the ground truth

TP, TN, FP, and FN are abbreviations of true positive, true negative, false positive, and false negative, respectively.
