Table 1 The four adopted performance metrics for the quantitative evaluation

From: Towards developing a segmentation method for cerebral aneurysm using a statistical multiresolution approach

Performance Metric

Definition

Equation

Accuracy

Correctness of the overall Segmentation

\(\frac{TP + TN}{{TP + TN + FP + FN}}\)

DSI

Amount of overlap between the two segmentations

\(\frac{2 \times TP}{{2 \times TP + FP + FN}}\)

FPR

Number of pixels incorrectly segmented

\(\frac{FP}{{FP + TN}} = \, 1 - Specificity\)

FNR

Number of pixels incorrectly rejected

\(\frac{FN}{{FN + TP}} = \, 1 - Sensitivity\)

Sensitivity

Number of pixels segmented correctly

\(\frac{TP}{{TP + FN}}\)

Specificity

Number of pixels excluded correctly

\(\frac{TN}{{TN + FP}}\)
