#' @description Metrics for assessing segmentation accuracy for geospatial data.
#'
#' @section 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).
#' 
#' @section 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.
#' 
#' @section Contributions:

#' Contribution to this package could be done at `segmetric`'s page on GitHub:
