When evaluating the performance of an object detector, we use two main evaluation metrics: FPS (frame-per-second) to measure the network detection speed and mAP (mean Average Precision) to measure the network precision. In this article, we will go through each of them, discussing what they mean and how to calculate each of them.

When it comes to object detection algorithms, processing speed is of paramount importance. The most common metric that is… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
