Performance Evaluation Tools for Zone Segmentation and Classification (PETS)
Wontaek Seo, Mudit Agrawal, David Doermann · 2010
This paper describes a set of Performance Evaluation Tools (PETS) for document image zone segmentation and classification. The tools allow researchers and developers to evaluate, optimize and compare their algorithms by providing a variety of quantitative performance metrics. The evaluation of segmentation quality is based on the pixel-based overlaps between two sets of zones proposed by Randriamasy and Vincent. PETS extends the approach by providing a set of metrics for overlap analysis, RLE and polygonal representation of zones and introduces type-matching to evaluate zone classification. The software is available for research use.
