Evaluation Criteria

Evaluations are conducted by calculating the Euclidean distance, which is the difference between prediction and the ground truth.

In this topic, participants need to predict the coordinates of two points. The score evaluation of each test image will be the sum of d1 and d2, while d1 and d2 are the Euclidean distances of the 1st point and the 2nd point respectively. 

The average of sums of all test images (d1+d2) will be calculated as the final score.
