In segmetric: Metrics for Assessing Segmentation Accuracy for Geospatial Data

segmetric

Description

Metrics for assessing segmentation accuracy for geospatial data.

Purpose

The segmetric package provides a set of metrics for the segmentation accuracy assessment (or evaluation) of geospatial data. It includes more than 20 metrics used in the literature for spatial segmentation assessment (Van Rijsbergen, 1979; Levine and Nazif, 1982; Janssen and Molenaar, 1995; Lucieer and Stein, 2002; Carleer et al., 2005; Moller et al., 2007; van Coillie et al., 2008; Costa et al., 2008; Weidner, 2008; Feitosa et al., 2010; Clinton et al. 2010; Persello and Bruzzone, 2010; Yang et al., 2014; and Zhang et al., 2015).

Extensions

The segmetric package is extensible and provides a set of functions to ease the implementation of new metrics. See ?sm_reg_metric() to find how new metrics are implemented.
