Redefining Instance Matching: A Unified Framework for Part-Aware Matching in Panoptic Segmentation Evaluation
Researchers propose a unified framework for improving Panoptic Quality (PQ) metric evaluation in image segmentation by recasting segment matching as a constrained bipartite assignment problem. The framework systematically explores multiple matching strategies below IoU 0.5 threshold and extends to part-aware segmentation evaluation, with an open-source implementation released.
