Compare

Provides functions to measure the similarity between devices.

dice_coefficient(device_a, device_b)

Calculates the Dice coefficient between two binary devices. A value closer to 1 indicates more similarity. The Dice coefficient is calculated as twice the number of pixels in common divided by the total number of pixels in the two devices.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
device_a Device

The first device (binarized).

 required
device_b Device

The second device (binarized).

 required

Returns:

Type Description
float

The Dice coefficient between two devices.

hamming_distance(device_a, device_b)

Calculates the Hamming distance between two binary devices. A lower value indicates more similarity. The Hamming distance is calculated as the number of positions at which the corresponding pixels are different.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
device_a Device

The first device (binarized).

 required
device_b Device

The second device (binarized).

 required

Returns:

Type Description
int

The Hamming distance between two devices.
