Popis: The task considered in this paper is performance evaluation of region segmentation algorithms in the ground truth (GT) based paradigm. Given a machine segmentation and a GT reference, performance measures are needed. We propose to consider the image segmentation problem as one of data clustering and, as a consequence, to use measures for comparing clusterings developed in statistics and machine learning. By doing so, we obtain a variety of performance measures which have not been used before in computer vision. In particular, some of these measures have the highly desired property of being a metric. Experimental results are reported on both synthetic and real data to validate the measures and compare them with others.
