Which metric measures the overall accuracy of a matting algorithm in preserving object boundaries?

  1. Alpha Matte Error (AME)

  2. Boundary Recall

  3. F-measure

  4. Mean Absolute Error (MAE)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

F-measure combines precision and recall to provide a comprehensive evaluation of boundary accuracy.

What is the primary focus of the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) metric in matting evaluation?

  1. Assessing the overall quality of the alpha matte

  2. Measuring the accuracy of boundary preservation

  3. Evaluating the smoothness of the alpha matte

  4. Quantifying the amount of color spill


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

MAE directly measures the pixel-wise difference between the predicted alpha matte and the ground truth, focusing on boundary accuracy.

Which metric is commonly used to evaluate the smoothness of the alpha matte?

  1. Gradient Magnitude Error (GME)

  2. Alpha Matte Error (AME)

  3. Mean Absolute Error (MAE)

  4. F-measure


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

GME measures the difference in the gradient magnitudes of the predicted alpha matte and the ground truth, quantifying the smoothness of the alpha matte.

What does the term "color spill" refer to in the context of matting evaluation?

  1. The presence of unwanted colors in the foreground region

  2. The leakage of background colors into the foreground region

  3. The blending of foreground and background colors at object boundaries

  4. The inconsistency of alpha values within the same object


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Color spill occurs when background colors "spill" into the foreground region, resulting in color contamination.

Which metric is specifically designed to quantify the amount of color spill in a matting result?

  1. Alpha Matte Error (AME)

  2. Mean Absolute Error (MAE)

  3. Color Spill Error (CSE)

  4. F-measure


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

CSE measures the average difference between the colors of corresponding pixels in the foreground region of the predicted alpha matte and the ground truth.

What is the primary focus of the Alpha Matte Error (AME) metric in matting evaluation?

  1. Assessing the overall quality of the alpha matte

  2. Measuring the accuracy of boundary preservation

  3. Evaluating the smoothness of the alpha matte

  4. Quantifying the amount of color spill


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

AME provides a comprehensive evaluation of the alpha matte quality by combining boundary accuracy, smoothness, and color spill.

Which metric is commonly used to evaluate the visual quality of a matting result?

  1. Alpha Matte Error (AME)

  2. Mean Absolute Error (MAE)

  3. Gradient Magnitude Error (GME)

  4. Subjective Evaluation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Subjective evaluation involves human observers assessing the visual quality of the matting result, providing a direct measure of its effectiveness.

What is the purpose of the Boundary Recall metric in matting evaluation?

  1. Measuring the accuracy of boundary preservation

  2. Evaluating the smoothness of the alpha matte

  3. Quantifying the amount of color spill

  4. Assessing the overall quality of the alpha matte

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

ACE measures the variation of alpha values within the foreground region of the predicted alpha matte, quantifying the consistency of alpha values.
