Hi eveyone,
I’m working with the Faster RCNN version provided by pytorch (Here 11). I’m training the model with my own custom dataset but I have some difficulties on understanding the evaluation metrics. I couldn’t find any good explanation on internet.
Here is an example showing my results:
IoU metric: bbox
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.658
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 1.000
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.75      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.827
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.663
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.658
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = -1.000
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=  1 ] = 0.687
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets= 10 ] = 0.687
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.687
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.700
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.685
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = -1.000

In this example what does the -1 means for large areas? and why it happens only for that?
I have just started object detection for a few day so it’s all new for me. Please, can you help me? thank you for your support
