# ioumatch

**ioumatch** is a lightweight Python library for evaluating instance segmentation masks.  
It automatically computes the **IoU matrix**, performs a **one-to-one matching** between predicted and ground-truth objects (greedy or Hungarian), and outputs **True Positives (TP)**, **False Positives (FP)**, **False Negatives (FN)**, and the **F1-score**.

It seamlessly handles:
- **Binary masks** (0/1 or 0/255), automatically converted into instance labels,
- **Already-labeled masks** (each object has its own integer ID),
- **Image files** (PNG, TIFF, etc.) or **NumPy arrays** directly.

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install ioumatch
```

---

## Core Features

| Function | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `evaluate_image(pred, gt)` | Evaluate a single image (NumPy arrays) |
| `evaluate_paths(pred_path, gt_path)` | Evaluate two mask image files |
| `evaluate_pairs(pred_glob, gt_glob)` | Evaluate a batch of image pairs using glob patterns |
| `to_instance_labels(mask)` | Convert a binary mask into connected-component labels |
| `iou_matrix_from_labels(pred, gt)` | Compute the IoU matrix between prediction and GT |
| `match_greedy` / `match_hungarian` | One-to-one object matching algorithms |

---

## Quick Example

```python
import numpy as np
import ioumatch

# --- Example with NumPy arrays ---
pred = np.array([
    [0, 1, 1],
    [0, 0, 1],
    [0, 0, 0]
], dtype=np.uint8)

gt = np.array([
    [0, 1, 1],
    [0, 0, 0],
    [0, 0, 2]
], dtype=np.uint8)

res = ioumatch.evaluate_image(pred, gt, threshold=0.5)
print(res)
#  {'tp': 1, 'fp': 1, 'fn': 1, 'f1': 0.5, 'iou_matrix': array(...)}

# --- Example with files ---
res = ioumatch.evaluate_paths("pred_masks/img_01.png",
                              "gt_masks/img_01.png",
                              threshold=0.3)
print(res["f1"])

# --- Evaluate multiple pairs ---
agg, per_image = ioumatch.evaluate_pairs("pred_masks/*.png", "gt_masks/*.png", threshold=0.5)
print("Global F1:", agg["f1"])
```

## Key Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|------------|------|----------|--------------|
| `threshold` | float | `0.5` | Minimum IoU to consider a valid match |
| `method` | str | `"greedy"` | `"greedy"` = simple matching, `"hungarian"` = optimal if SciPy is installed |
| `inclusive` | bool | `False` | If `True`, accepts IoU values equal to the threshold |
| `normalize` | bool | `True` | If `True`, automatically converts binary masks to instance-labeled masks |

---

## How It Works

1. **Input normalization**  
   Binary masks (0/1 or 0/255) are converted to instance-labeled masks using connected components.

2. **IoU matrix computation**  
   An IoU value is computed for each pair `(predicted_object, ground_truth_object)`.

3. **One-to-one matching**  
   - **Greedy mode:** iteratively picks the highest IoU and removes the corresponding row and column.  
   - **Hungarian mode:** uses optimal global assignment (via `scipy.optimize.linear_sum_assignment`).

4. **Metric computation**  
   - **TP** – matched pairs  
   - **FP** – predictions with no corresponding GT  
   - **FN** – GT objects not detected  
   - **F1** – harmonic mean:  
     ```
     F1 = 2 * TP / (2 * TP + FP + FN)
     ```

## Example Visualization

```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from ioumatch import iou_matrix_from_labels, to_instance_labels

pred = to_instance_labels(pred)
gt = to_instance_labels(gt)
M = iou_matrix_from_labels(pred, gt)

plt.imshow(M, cmap='hot', interpolation='nearest')
plt.title("IoU Matrix: Predictions vs Ground Truth")
plt.xlabel("Ground Truth objects")
plt.ylabel("Predicted objects")
plt.colorbar()
plt.show()
```

## API Summary

| Module | Content |
|---------|----------|
| `ioumatch.iou` | Builds IoU matrices between labeled masks |
| `ioumatch.matching` | Matching algorithms (greedy and Hungarian) |
| `ioumatch.metrics` | Computes TP, FP, FN, F1, and handles image/batch evaluation |
| `ioumatch.utils` | Image I/O and binary→label conversions |

---

## Dependencies

**Required**
- `numpy`

**Recommended**
- `opencv-python` – for connected components in binary masks
- `matplotlib` – for IoU matrix visualization
- `scipy` – for the Hungarian optimal matching

---

---

##  Example Output

When evaluating one image pair:

```
TP = 2
FP = 1
FN = 1
F1 = 0.6667
```

And the IoU matrix might look like this:

```
[[0.9, 0.0],
 [0.2, 0.7]]
```

Where:
- Row = predicted objects  
- Column = ground truth objects
