Based on published standards

The questions are original scenarios, and each one names the public standard, official guide or research it draws on — shown under the question while you answer, and linked in your review. These are the sources behind this quiz:

Try a sample question

Intersection over Union (IoU) for two bounding boxes is

  1. the sum of both box areas
  2. the distance between the box centres
  3. the overlap area divided by the combined area
  4. the overlap area divided by the image area
Show the answer

C. the overlap area divided by the combined area — IoU of 1 is a perfect match. The real quiz has 20 questions like this.
