Description

The research will focus on refining metric techniques and tools for evaluating the quality of annotations in image object detection applications. The planned approach is based on metrics for calculating the concordance between annotations of different subjects as a proxy for evaluating the quality of annotations and the difficulty of the object detection task. The work involves both the study of metrics and their implementation in a practical tool for evaluating the quality of annotations and the complexity of the object detection task.
