Speed comparison of segmentation evaluation methods

Abstract

Segmentation algorithms are widely used in image processing and there is a definite need for good quality segmentation algorithms. In order to assess which segmentation algorithms are good for our tasks, we need to measure their quality. This is done by evaluation methods. Still, we have the same problem. There are several evaluation methods, but which are good and fast enough? This article measures the quality and speed of some evaluation methods and shows that there are large differences between them. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
