Benchmark and Evaluation Metrics

This Chapter reviews the benchmarks and evaluation metrics for visual saliency computation. It consists of four main parts. The first part provides an overview of saliency model evaluation. In the second part, we review existing saliency benchmarks. Based on these benchmarks, the third part describes various evaluation metrics for measuring the performance of saliency models. The last part concludes this Chapter and proposes how to achieve impressive performance when using these benchmarks and evaluation methodologies.
