Assessing Annotation Accuracy in Ice Sheets Using Quantitative Metrics
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The increasing threat of sea level rise due to climate change necessitates a deeper understanding of ice sheet structures. This study addresses the need for accurate ice sheet data interpretation by introducing a suite of quantitative metrics designed to validate ice sheet annotation techniques. Focusing on both manual and automated methods, including ARESELP and its modified version, MARESELP, we assess their accuracy against expert annotations. Our methodology incorporates several computer vision metrics, traditionally under-utilized in glaciological research, to evaluate the continuity and connectivity of ice layer annotations. The results demonstrate that while manual annotations provide invaluable expert insights, automated methods, particularly MARESELP, improve layer continuity and alignment with expert labels.
