Welcome to Panoptica’s Documentation!¶
panoptica¶
Computing instance-wise segmentation quality metrics for 2D and 3D semantic- and instance segmentation maps.
Use Cases & Tutorials | Documentation
Features¶
The package provides three core modules:
Instance Approximator: instance approximation algorithms to extract instances from semantic segmentation maps/model outputs.
Instance Matcher: matches predicted instances with reference instances.
Instance Evaluator: computes segmentation and detection quality metrics for pairs of predicted - and reference segmentation maps.
Installation¶
With a Python 3.10+ environment, you can install panoptica from pypi.org
pip install panoptica
Available Metrics¶
Note
Panoptica supports a large range of metrics.
An overview of the supported metrics and their formulas can be found here: panoptica/metrics.md
Use Cases & Tutorials¶
Minimal example¶
A minimal example of using panoptica could look e.g. like this (here with Matched Instances as Input):
from panoptica import InputType, Panoptica_Evaluator
from panoptica.metrics import Metric
from auxiliary.nifti.io import read_nifti # feel free to use any other way to read nifti files
ref_masks = read_nifti("reference.nii.gz")
pred_masks = read_nifti("prediction.nii.gz")
evaluator = Panoptica_Evaluator(
expected_input=InputType.MATCHED_INSTANCE,
decision_metric=Metric.IOU,
decision_threshold=0.5,
)
result, intermediate_steps_data = evaluator.evaluate(pred_masks, ref_masks)["ungrouped"]
Tip
We provide Jupyter Notebook tutorials showcasing various use cases.
You can explore them here: BrainLesion/tutorials/panoptica
Semantic Segmentation Input¶
Although an instance-wise evaluation is highly relevant and desirable for many biomedical segmentation problems, they are still addressed as semantic segmentation problems due to the lack of appropriate instance labels.
This tutorial leverages all three modules of panoptica: instance approximation, -matching and -evaluation.
Unmatched Instances Input¶
It is a common issue that instance segmentation outputs feature good outlines but mismatched instance labels. For this case, the matcher module can be utilized to match instances and the evaluator to report metrics.
Matched Instances Input¶
If your predicted instances already match the reference instances, you can directly compute metrics using the evaluator module.
Matching Algorithm Example¶
Using Configs (saving and loading)¶
You can construct Panoptica_Evaluator (among many others) objects and save their arguments, so you can save project-specific configurations and use them later. It uses ruamel.yaml in a readable way.
