Computer vision · Evaluation

A score still needs a decision.

An interactive study of similarity scores: how changing an acceptance threshold changes false matches and missed matches.

Concept study · 12 synthetic pairs

Compare 0.82 with 0.73. One more actual match gets through. So do two non-matches.
