tf.compat.v1.keras.metrics.BinaryIoU

tf.keras.metrics.BinaryIoU(
    target_class_ids: Union[List[int], Tuple[int, ...]] = (0, 1),
    threshold=0.5,
    name=None,
    dtype=None
)

General definition and computation:

Intersection-Over-Union is a common evaluation metric for semantic image segmentation.

For an individual class, the IoU metric is defined as follows:

iou = true_positives / (true_positives + false_positives + false_negatives)

To compute IoUs, the predictions are accumulated in a confusion matrix, weighted by sample_weight and the metric is then calculated from it.

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

This class can be used to compute IoUs for a binary classification task where the predictions are provided as logits. First a threshold is applied to the predicted values such that those that are below the threshold are converted to class 0 and those that are above the threshold are converted to class 1.

IoUs for classes 0 and 1 are then computed, the mean of IoUs for the classes that are specified by target_class_ids is returned.

Note: with threshold=0, this metric has the same behavior as IoU.

Args
target_class_ids	A tuple or list of target class ids for which the metric is returned. Options are [0], [1], or [0, 1]. With [0] (or [1]), the IoU metric for class 0 (or class 1, respectively) is returned. With [0, 1], the mean of IoUs for the two classes is returned.
threshold	A threshold that applies to the prediction logits to convert them to either predicted class 0 if the logit is below threshold or predicted class 1 if the logit is above threshold.
name	(Optional) string name of the metric instance.
dtype	(Optional) data type of the metric result.

Standalone usage:

m = tf.keras.metrics.BinaryIoU(target_class_ids=[0, 1], threshold=0.3)
m.update_state([0, 1, 0, 1], [0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.7])
m.result().numpy()
0.33333334

m.reset_state()
m.update_state([0, 1, 0, 1], [0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.7],
               sample_weight=[0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.1])
# cm = [[0.2, 0.4],
#        [0.3, 0.1]]
# sum_row = [0.6, 0.4], sum_col = [0.5, 0.5], true_positives = [0.2, 0.1]
# iou = [0.222, 0.125]
m.result().numpy()
0.17361112

Usage with compile() API:

model.compile(
  optimizer='sgd',
  loss='mse',
  metrics=[tf.keras.metrics.BinaryIoU(target_class_ids=[0], threshold=0.5)])

Methods

merge_state

View source

merge_state(
    metrics
)

Merges the state from one or more metrics.

This method can be used by distributed systems to merge the state computed by different metric instances. Typically the state will be stored in the form of the metric's weights. For example, a tf.keras.metrics.Mean metric contains a list of two weight values: a total and a count. If there were two instances of a tf.keras.metrics.Accuracy that each independently aggregated partial state for an overall accuracy calculation, these two metric's states could be combined as follows:

m1 = tf.keras.metrics.Accuracy()
_ = m1.update_state([[1], [2]], [[0], [2]])

m2 = tf.keras.metrics.Accuracy()
_ = m2.update_state([[3], [4]], [[3], [4]])

m2.merge_state([m1])
m2.result().numpy()
0.75

Args
metrics	an iterable of metrics. The metrics must have compatible state.

Raises
ValueError	If the provided iterable does not contain metrics matching the metric's required specifications.

reset_state

View source

reset_state()

Resets all of the metric state variables.

This function is called between epochs/steps, when a metric is evaluated during training.

result

View source

result()

Compute the intersection-over-union via the confusion matrix.

update_state

View source

update_state(
    y_true, y_pred, sample_weight=None
)

Accumulates the confusion matrix statistics.

Before the confusion matrix is updated, the predicted values are thresholded to be: 0 for values that are smaller than the threshold 1 for values that are larger or equal to the threshold

Args
y_true	The ground truth values.
y_pred	The predicted values.
sample_weight	Optional weighting of each example. Defaults to 1. Can be a Tensor whose rank is either 0, or the same rank as y_true, and must be broadcastable to y_true.

Returns
Update op.
