How to get iou of single class in keras semantic segmentation?

Question

I am using the Image segmentation guide by fchollet to perform semantic segmentation. I have attempted modifying the guide to suit my dataset by labelling the 8-bit img mask values into 1 and 2 like in the Oxford Pets dataset. (which will be subtracted to 0 and 1 in class OxfordPets(keras.utils.Sequence):)

Question is how do I get the IoU metric of a single class (e.g 1)?

I have tried different metrics suggested by Stack Overflow but most of suggest using MeanIoU which I tried but I have gotten nan loss as a result. Here is an example of a mask after using autocontrast.
PIL.ImageOps.autocontrast(load_img(val_target_img_paths[i]))

The model seems to train well but the accuracy was decreasing over time.

Also, can someone help explain how the metric score can be calculated from y_true and y_pred? I don’t quite fully understand when the label value is used in the IoU metric calculation.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem back then. I used jaccard_distance_loss and dice_metric. They are based on IoU. My task was a binary segmentation, so I guess you might have to modify the code in case you want to use it for a multi-label classification problem.

from keras import backend as K

def jaccard_distance_loss(y_true, y_pred, smooth=100):
    """
    Jaccard = (|X & Y|)/ (|X|+ |Y| - |X & Y|)
            = sum(|A*B|)/(sum(|A|)+sum(|B|)-sum(|A*B|))
    
    The jaccard distance loss is usefull for unbalanced datasets. This has been
    shifted so it converges on 0 and is smoothed to avoid exploding or disapearing
    gradient.

    """
    intersection = K.sum(K.sum(K.abs(y_true * y_pred), axis=-1))
    sum_ = K.sum(K.sum(K.abs(y_true) + K.abs(y_pred), axis=-1))
    jac = (intersection + smooth) / (sum_ - intersection + smooth)
    return (1 - jac) * smooth

def dice_metric(y_pred, y_true):
    intersection = K.sum(K.sum(K.abs(y_true * y_pred), axis=-1))
    union = K.sum(K.sum(K.abs(y_true) + K.abs(y_pred), axis=-1))
    # if y_pred.sum() == 0 and y_pred.sum() == 0:
    #     return 1.0

    return 2*intersection / union

# Example
size = 10

y_true = np.zeros(shape=(size,size))
y_true[3:6,3:6] = 1

y_pred = np.zeros(shape=(size,size))
y_pred[3:5,3:5] = 1

loss = jaccard_distance_loss(y_true,y_pred)

metric = dice_metric(y_pred,y_true)

print(f"loss: {loss}")
print(f"dice_metric: {metric}")

loss: 4.587155963302747
dice_metric: 0.6153846153846154

You can use the tf.keras.metrics.IoU method, and you can find its documentation here: https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/metrics/IoU

And how you can use it is shown here:

import tensorflow as tf

y_true = [0, 1]
y_pred = [0.5, 1.0]  # they must be the same shape

# target_class_ids indicates the class/classes you want to calculate IoU on
loss = tf.keras.metrics.IoU(num_classes=2, target_class_ids=[1])
loss.update_state(y_true, y_pred)
print(loss.result().numpy())

And as you can see in the documentation, IoU is calculated by:

true_positives / (true_positives + false_positives + false_negatives)
