Abstract
In an approach for automatically detecting whether an output of a detection and segmentation algorithm is of an acceptable quality, a processor receives an image. A processor applies a detection stage of a detection and segmentation algorithm to the image. A processor computes a set of features from a detection score map output by the detection stage of the detection and segmentation algorithm by analyzing the detection score map at more than one different operating points. A processor inputs the set of features into a classifier that predicts whether a final output of the detection and segmentation algorithm will be of an acceptable quality, wherein the acceptable quality is defined based on whether a detection precision threshold has been reached. A processor receives an output of the classifier.
