BOP / 6D localization aggregation · aggregate

BOP AR

BOP Average Recall

Computes VSD, MSSD, and MSPD recall at multiple thresholds, then aggregates them into BOP's localization score.

AR is not a single distance. When reading BOP tables, distinguish AR_VSD, AR_MSSD, AR_MSPD, AR_D, and cross-dataset AR_C; they represent different aggregation levels.

Principle

What error does this metric penalize?

The formulas define the computation. The diagrams show whether the error concerns a 3D model, visible surfaces, the image plane, or aggregation across thresholds.

For each error function, first determine whether each predicted pose is correct at a given threshold, then compute recall over all annotated instances.

BOP addresses several application needs together, scoring visible surfaces, worst-case 3D deviation, and perceptible 2D deviation.

ARD=ARVSD+ARMSSD+ARMSPD3,ARC=avg⁡D∈coreARDAR_D=\frac{AR_{VSD}+AR_{MSSD}+AR_{MSPD}}{3},\qquad AR_C=\operatorname*{avg}_{D\in\mathrm{core}} AR_D
AR_e averages recall over multiple correctness thresholds for the corresponding error function, including τ for VSD. Use the thresholds in the relevant BOP task configuration.

How to compute

Computation steps

  1. 01

    Compute VSD, MSSD, and MSPD for each test instance.

  2. 02

    Compute recall for each error at the BOP-defined thresholds, then obtain AR_e.

  3. 03

    Average the three AR_e values to obtain dataset-level AR_D; when required, average over the core datasets to obtain AR_C.

Strength

What it is useful for

  • Covers occlusion, symmetry, 3D accuracy, and image projection together.
  • Aggregation over multiple thresholds is more stable than a single success threshold.

Caveat

Cautions when reading results

  • Whenever AR appears alone, check its dataset scope, task, and BOP year.
  • AR is used for object localization; detection uses AP. Keep the two distinct.
