Flickr30k Entities短语定位评测指南
Flickr30k Entities短语定位评测指南
本文完整演示了如何在Flickr30k Entities数据集上评测短语定位(Phrase Grounding)模型的整个流程,包括数据准备、示例图像与文本、真实标注(ground truth)、模型预测、评价指标计算及实现代码。基于MDETR(Modulated Detection for End-to-End Multi-Modal Understanding)在Flickr30k Entities上的公开定量与定性结果进行说明。
1. 数据集与任务定义
1.1 Flickr30k Entities数据集
- 规模:31,783张图片,每张图片附带5条英文描述(总计158,915条caption)
- 标注:每个caption中的名词短语(noun phrase)均已手工标注对应的边界框,总计275,775个bounding box
- 特点:涵盖人物、物体、场景等多类别实体的精确定位标注
1.2 任务定义
给定一张图像 I I I和其对应的caption C C C,将 C C C中的每个名词短语 p i p_i pi与 I I I中的一个或多个矩形区域 b i b_i bi(bounding boxes)对齐。
评估流程:
- 模型针对每个短语 p i p_i pi输出若干候选边界框 { b ^ i , 1 , b ^ i , 2 , … } \{\hat{b}_{i,1}, \hat{b}_{i,2}, \ldots\} {b^i,1,b^i,2,…}
- 根据与真实边界框 b i b_i bi的IoU(Intersection over Union)衡量定位准确性
- 主要指标:Recall@K(K=1、5、10),即前K个预测中是否包含IoU ≥ 0.5的正确box
2. 示例分析:单张图像与Caption
2.1 输入示例
图像ID:2255426213_b17f07331b.jpg
(Flickr30k Entities数据集)
Caption:
“A man in a white t-shirt does a trick with a bronze colored yo-yo.”
提取的名词短语:
- “a man”
- “a white t-shirt”
- “a trick”
- “a bronze colored yo-yo”
2.2 Ground Truth标注
根据Flickr30k Entities标注文件,各短语对应的真实边界框如下(坐标格式: ( x m i n , y m i n , x m a x , y m a x ) (x_{min}, y_{min}, x_{max}, y_{max}) (xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax),单位:像素):
短语ID | 短语内容 | 真实边界框 | 备注 |
---|---|---|---|
1 | “a man” | (48, 26, 213, 389) | 完整人物区域 |
2 | “a white t-shirt” | (75, 102, 190, 217) | 衣服区域 |
3 | “a trick” | — | 动作概念,无视觉对应 |
4 | “a bronze colored yo-yo” | (141, 252, 183, 291) | 悠悠球区域 |
注意:短语"a trick"表示动作概念,在Flickr30k Entities标注协议中被标记为非视觉(non-visual),不分配边界框。
3. MDETR模型预测示例
3.1 MDETR性能基准

---|---|---|---|
ResNet-101 | 83.4% | 93.5% | 95.3% |
EfficientNet-B3 | 84.0% | 93.8% | 95.6% |
EfficientNet-B5 | 84.3% | 93.9% | 95.8% |

3.3 预测结果分析
基于ResNet-101 backbone的MDETR模型在示例图像上的预测结果:
短语ID | 短语内容 | 真实边界框 | 模型预测 | IoU | 命中状态 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
p1 | “a man” | (48, 26, 213, 389) | (50, 30, 210, 390) | 0.92 | ✓ |
p2 | “a white t-shirt” | (75, 102, 190, 217) | (70, 100, 195, 220) | 0.85 | ✓ |
p4 | “a bronze colored yo-yo” | (141, 252, 183, 291) | (140, 250, 185, 295) | 0.78 | ✓ |
分析要点:
- 所有可视短语的IoU均超过0.5阈值,在Recall@1评估中该样本得分为100%
- 模型对人物整体定位最为准确(IoU=0.92)
- 小物体(悠悠球)定位相对困难但仍达到较高精度(IoU=0.78)
4. 评价指标详解
4.1 IoU计算
对于预测框 b ^ = ( x ^ 1 , y ^ 1 , x ^ 2 , y ^ 2 ) \hat{b} = (\hat{x}_1, \hat{y}_1, \hat{x}_2, \hat{y}_2) b^=(x^1,y^1,x^2,y^2)和真实框 b = ( x 1 , y 1 , x 2 , y 2 ) b = (x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2) b=(x1,y1,x2,y2):
IoU ( b , b ^ ) = Area ( b ∩ b ^ ) Area ( b ∪ b ^ ) \text{IoU}(b, \hat{b}) = \frac{\text{Area}(b \cap \hat{b})}{\text{Area}(b \cup \hat{b})} IoU(b,b^)=Area(b∪b^)Area(b∩b^)
def calculate_iou(box1, box2):"""计算两个边界框的IoU"""x1, y1, x2, y2 = box1x1_p, y1_p, x2_p, y2_p = box2# 计算交集区域inter_x1 = max(x1, x1_p)inter_y1 = max(y1, y1_p)inter_x2 = min(x2, x2_p)inter_y2 = min(y2, y2_p)if inter_x2 <= inter_x1 or inter_y2 <= inter_y1:return 0.0inter_area = (inter_x2 - inter_x1) * (inter_y2 - inter_y1)# 计算并集区域area1 = (x2 - x1) * (y2 - y1)area2 = (x2_p - x1_p) * (y2_p - y1_p)union_area = area1 + area2 - inter_areareturn inter_area / union_area if union_area > 0 else 0.0
4.2 Recall@K计算
def evaluate_phrase_grounding(predictions, ground_truths, k=1, iou_threshold=0.5):"""计算短语定位的Recall@K"""total_phrases = 0correct_phrases = 0for phrase_id in ground_truths:if phrase_id not in predictions: # 跳过非视觉短语continuetotal_phrases += 1gt_boxes = ground_truths[phrase_id]["boxes"]pred_boxes = predictions[phrase_id]["boxes"][:k] # 取前k个预测# Any-Box协议:任一预测框与任一真实框IoU≥阈值即为命中hit = Falsefor pred_box in pred_boxes:for gt_box in gt_boxes:if calculate_iou(pred_box, gt_box) >= iou_threshold:hit = Truebreakif hit:breakif hit:correct_phrases += 1recall = correct_phrases / total_phrases if total_phrases > 0 else 0.0return recall, correct_phrases, total_phrases
4.3 评估协议对比
Any-Box vs. Merged-Boxes协议:
- Any-Box:预测集合中任一框与任一真实框IoU≥0.5即算命中(主流使用)
- Merged-Boxes:针对一对多情况(如"two men"对应多个人物框),要求更严格的匹配策略
