COCO api evaluation for subset of classes


I'm using the python coco api to run evaluation for object detection. I have two files, a ground truth json, and a results json. The coco notebook demo only shows running eval for all classes. How can I run it for only one specific class or a subset of classes? Currently I'm doing this:

from pycocotools.coco import COCO
from pycocotools.cocoeval import COCOeval

annType = 'bbox'

cocoGt=COCO(gt_json)
cocoDt=cocoGt.loadRes(results_json)

imgIds=sorted(cocoGt.getImgIds())

# running evaluation
cocoEval = COCOeval(cocoGt,cocoDt,annType)
cocoEval.params.imgIds = imgIds
cocoEval.evaluate()
cocoEval.accumulate()
cocoEval.summarize()

Solution

  • I refer to this page (http://www.programmersought.com/article/3065285708/)

    cocoEval = COCOeval(cocoGt,cocoDt,annType)
    coco_eval.params.catIds = [1] #person id : 1
    cocoEval.params.imgIds = imgIds   
    cocoEval.evaluate()  
    cocoEval.accumulate()  
    cocoEval.summarize() 
    

    Additionaly, I modified cocoapi/PythonAPI/pycocotools/cocoeval.py to calculate AP for each category.

    The result is like below.

    category : 0 : 0.410733757610904 #person AP
    category : 1 : 0.20226150054237374 #bird AP
    ....
    category : 79 : 0.04993736566987926
    (all categories) mAP : 0.27999824034118914 # my results
    Average Precision (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.280 #original
