tf.compat.v1.metrics.mean_iou

Calculate per-step mean Intersection-Over-Union (mIOU).

tf.compat.v1.metrics.mean_iou(
    labels, predictions, num_classes, weights=None, metrics_collections=None,
    updates_collections=None, name=None
)

Mean Intersection-Over-Union is a common evaluation metric for semantic image segmentation, which first computes the IOU for each semantic class and then computes the average over classes. IOU is defined as follows: IOU = true_positive / (true_positive + false_positive + false_negative). The predictions are accumulated in a confusion matrix, weighted by weights, and mIOU is then calculated from it.

For estimation of the metric over a stream of data, the function creates an update_op operation that updates these variables and returns the mean_iou.

If weights is None, weights default to 1. Use weights of 0 to mask values.

Args
labels	A Tensor of ground truth labels with shape [batch size] and of type int32 or int64. The tensor will be flattened if its rank > 1.
predictions	A Tensor of prediction results for semantic labels, whose shape is [batch size] and type int32 or int64. The tensor will be flattened if its rank > 1.
num_classes	The possible number of labels the prediction task can have. This value must be provided, since a confusion matrix of dimension = [num_classes, num_classes] will be allocated.
weights	Optional Tensor whose rank is either 0, or the same rank as labels, and must be broadcastable to labels (i.e., all dimensions must be either 1, or the same as the corresponding labels dimension).
metrics_collections	An optional list of collections that mean_iou should be added to.
updates_collections	An optional list of collections update_op should be added to.
name	An optional variable_scope name.

Returns
mean_iou	A Tensor representing the mean intersection-over-union.
update_op	An operation that increments the confusion matrix.

Raises
ValueError	If predictions and labels have mismatched shapes, or if weights is not None and its shape doesn't match predictions, or if either metrics_collections or updates_collections are not a list or tuple.
RuntimeError	If eager execution is enabled.
