Does the validation app provide Max Integral (metric after VOC 08) for object detection?

As the title said. Thanks!

Dear Zhongyi,

the validation app provides for Object Detection the Mean Average Precision. I can not find any information in Deep Learning literature about the Max Integral metric for Object Detection, that I could report to our dev team for a future feature. Can you send me such info (link to papers, etc...)?

Best,

Hello Severine:

Thanks for the reply! I found the implementation of MaxIntegral in Wei Liu's SSD repo: 

    https://github.com/weiliu89/caffe/blob/ssd/include/caffe/util/bbox_util.hpp#L448

    https://github.com/weiliu89/caffe/blob/ssd/src/caffe/util/bbox_util.cpp#L2058

You could also see this link for a more detailed explanation:

Hope that can help!

Thanks,

Zhongyi
