bounding box

a rectangular outline of an object of interest, defining its coordinates and serving as a point of reference for object detection

Application Training Types

confusion matrix

a table chart used to evaluate the performance of a computer vision AI application, where the actual observations are compared to those of the AI model. The matrix offers an overview of correct and incorrect predictions made by the model. The table lists the four values needed for calculating performance statistics: (1) true positives, (2) false positives, (3) true negatives, and (4) false negatives. A well-performing application should have higher values along the main diagonal of the confusion matrix (true-positive to true-negative) and low values on the other positions (false-positive to false-negative).

false-negatives

a detection error where the application falsely registers the absence of an object

ground truth

the annotations in the input image data done by the user. The deep learning model is trained to target morphological structures in novel image data, similar to the ground truth annotations.

image classification

a computer vision task for categorizing groups of pixels or vectors within a given image

Application Training Types

instance correctness

a metric that gives you information about the ability of the application to correctly detect and label instances in the process of instance segmentation training. An instance is shown as correctly detected, if the predicted instance has an area overlap of ≥ 50% with the annotated instance.

label, labeling, label category

a label is a verbal categorization assigned to an object in a particular image upon annotating the object

multichannel images

images that consist of different channels taken under different laser light conditions that are stacked one above another

https://kmlvision.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/3266510849

multidimensional microscopy images

images visualizing the dynamics of cellular structures in space and through time. These can be three-dimensional (3D), four-dimensional (4D), multichannel or time-series images etc. Multidimensional images are acquired with optical sectioning techniques or laser-scanning microscopy techniques, time-lapse or multifocal-planes recordings. Such images contain additional layers of information on cell movements, structural dynamics, multichannel spectrums and wave-lengths.

pixel correctness

a metric that gives you information about the correctness of the prediction of the trained model on a pixel level. For each pixel it shows if the predicted pixel label is correct.

Instance segmentation - qualitative results

predicted areas

areas within an image assigned to a particular label

How to understand quantitative results?

predicted instance

an individual object that has been detected, segmented and classified by the instance segmentation model

Instance segmentation - qualitative results

predicted pixel label

the label the AI application assigns a pixel to. This means each pixel in an image is assigned a class label from a predefined set. In other words, the “predicted pixel label“ is the label the AI application assigned to a specific pixel.

How to understand quantitative results?

random split

the process of letting the platform decide which images are used for training and which ones for validation.

RGB images

images that consist of 3 channels: red, green and blue.
