volume_similarity

Calculate volume similarity metrics for binary label volumes.

volume_similarity [options] <ground_truth.mnc> <test.mnc>

DESCRIPTION

volume_similarity calculates overlap-based similarity metrics between two binary label volumes, typically a ground truth segmentation and an automated segmentation result. The tool computes Cohen’s kappa, sensitivity (true positive rate), specificity (true negative rate), and Jaccard index.

The method is based on Feuerman and Miller (2008) for kappa computation.

OPTIONS

--kappa
Report Cohen’s kappa coefficient.
--sensitivity
Report sensitivity (true positive rate).
--specificity
Report specificity (true negative rate).
--jaccard
Report the Jaccard index (intersection over union).
--verbose
Print all available similarity metrics.
--csv
Output results in CSV format.

EXAMPLES

Compute all similarity metrics:

volume_similarity --verbose ground_truth.mnc test_seg.mnc

Compute kappa in CSV format:

volume_similarity --kappa --csv ground_truth.mnc test_seg.mnc

Compute Jaccard and sensitivity:

volume_similarity --jaccard --sensitivity ground_truth.mnc test_seg.mnc
