Metric Reloaded: how to select and use your metrics

Submitted by Perrine on Wed, 02/14/2024 - 13:39

The mission of Metrics Reloaded is to guide researchers in the selection of appropriate performance metrics for biomedical image analysis problems, as well as provide a comprehensive online resource for metric-related information and pitfalls. This website provides ressources such as a tool to select the best metric, as well as tutorials about the way to use and interpret metrics in image analysis.

MetroloJ

Collection
Description

This plugin allows measuring relevant parameters which helps testing, following and comparing microscopes performances. This is achieved by extracting four indicators out of standardized images, acquired from standardized samples: the estimation of the detector sensitivity, the evaluation of the field illumination homogeneity, the system resolution, and finally the characterization of its spectral registration.
