Saliency-Evaluation-Toolbox

This Toolbox contains near all evaluation metrics for salient object detection including:

• E-measure
• S-measure
• weighted F-measure
• F-measure
• MAE scores
• PR curves or bar metrics
• Boundary Displacement Error

You can easily use this Tool Box to evaluate SOD results.

Requirement

• MATLAB

Test E/S/weighted F/F-measure and MAE scores

1. Set the path of GT and sal_map in main.m
2. run main.m

Test PR curves

1 create .m file

1. put your test_images in ./0 PR/Dataset
2. set your_path and run ./0 PR/PR_sal2mat.m

2 prduce PR curves or PR bar

1. run ./0 PR/code_bar.m or code_or.m

Boundary Displacement Error Metric

1. It contains BDE metric, which borrows from this paper.
2. Set the path of GT and sal_map in main.m
3. run main.m (Source Code and fetch code is k2v6).
4. This code is provided by Dr. Tang Lv. Thanks very much!
