Frequently Asked Questions

How are the methods evaluated?
The evaluation framework (data, reference standard, measures, scores, and ranking) is described in this document.

I have downloaded the data. How do I read it?
Read the data format section on the about page.

What's the submission format
Read the submssion format section on the about page.

Why can't I download the reference segmentation for the test data and perform the evaluation myself?
From our previous experiences with making data sets publicly available we have learned that if we would release the 'truth' for the test data, groups would perform slightly or vastly different types of evaluations. This may lead to incomparable results between papers that have used the same data. To avoid this, we decided on the current procedure, which makes sure that each system is evaluated in exactly the same way.
