On the usage of average Hausdorff distance for segmentation performance assessment: hidden error when used for ranking (vol 5, 4, 2021)

Summary: The average Hausdorff distance is commonly used to calculate the distance between two point sets, but suffers from ranking errors in medical image segmentation applications. To address this issue, a balanced average Hausdorff distance measure is proposed, showing higher correlation and suitability for rankings and quality assessment of segmentations.
