Counting Methods

KNN and IOU based verification

Introduced by Alam et al. in Machine learning approach of automatic identification and counting of blood cells

KNN and IoU-based Verification is used to verify detections and choose between multiple detections of the same underlying object. It was originally used within the context of blood cell counting in medical images. To avoid this double counting problem, the KNN algorithm is applied in each platelet to determine its closest platelet and then using the intersection of union (IOU) between two platelets we calculate their extent of overlap. The authors allow 10% of the overlap between platelet and its closest platelet based on empirical observations. If the overlap is larger than that, they ignore that cell as a double count to get rid of spurious counting.
