FRR(False Rejection Rate)和FAR(False Acceptance Rate)是用来评估指纹识别算法性能的两个主要参数。
FRR通俗叫法是拒真率的意思,标准称谓是 FNMR(False Non-Match Rate 不匹配率)。可以通俗的理解为“把应该相互匹配成功的指纹当成不能匹配的指纹”的概率。
Equal Error Rate , 这个在说话人识别,说话人确认中最常用的评价标准,是一种使错误接受率(nontarget_is_target / (target_is_target + nontarget_is_target)) 和 错误拒绝
率(target_is_nontarget / (target_is_nontarget + nontarget_is_nontarget))的一个相对平衡点阈值点,然后这个阈值点可以作为实际使用阶段的固定的阈值。
如 得分非 -170----A-------threshold ------B------- +100 按理来说 A 中都是nontarget, B中都是target。 如果在A 中出现了target 就是错误拒绝了,如果在B 中出现了
nontarget 就是错误接收了
FAR一般称为认假率,其标准称谓是FMR(False Match Rate 错误匹配率)。FMR是用来评估指纹识别算法性能的最重要参数。可以通俗的理解为“把不应该匹配的指纹当成匹配
的指纹”的概率。
FAR是随阈值增大而减小的,FRR是随阈值增大而增大的。因此它们一定有交点。这个点是在某个阈值下的FAR与FRR等值的点。习惯上用这一点的值来衡量算法的综合性能。
对于一个更优的指纹算法,希望在相同阈值情况下,FAR和FRR都越小越好。
把FAR和FRR曲线都向下平移。同时相交点ERR也向下平移。所以EER值越小的时候,表示算法的整体性能越高。

Equal Error Rate , 这个在说话人识别,说话人确认中最常用的评价标准,是一种使错误接受率(nontarget_is_target / (target_is_target + nontarget_is_target)) 和 错误拒绝率(target_is_nontarget / (target_is_nontarget + nontarget_is_nontarget))的一个相对平衡点阈值点,然后这个阈值点可以作为实际使用阶段的固定的阈值。
还记得trials文件嘛,还记得没有cvs文件自己伪造trials文件嘛, 还记得不明白为什么要制造50%或者80%的nontarget嘛,就是为了要计算EER。所以在伪造trials文件的时候,最好是分布均匀,也就是要涉及到每一个人,每一个人都要有一定数量的nontarget,其实也可以每个人对其他所有人都做一个nontarget,到底是取一部分还是所有的这个我也不确定,等验证过后再更新(记得验证)。
-->先说一些EER的计算:
false reject and false accept. Clearly, the false reject rate and the false accept rate depend on the threshold. When the two rates are equal, the common value is called equal error rate (EER).
什么是false reject(用fr表示), 就是本来应该accept 的结果 reject了:
FR = target_is_nontarget / (target_is_nontarget + nontarget_is_nontarget)
而false accept(用fa表示),就是本来应该reject的结果accept了:
FA = nontarget_is_target / (target_is_target + nontarget_is_target)
当E(fr) = E(fa) = E 时, E即 EER的值。

#Ki就是上面的lines流, 把没用的代码全都删掉,可以去看kaldi的源码
while (std::getline(ki.Stream(), line)) {
std::vector split_line;
SplitStringToVector(line, " \t", true, &split_line);
BaseFloat score;
if (split_line[1] == "target")
target_scores.push_back(score);
else if (split_line[1] == "nontarget")
nontarget_scores.push_back(score);
else
KALDI_ERR << "blablabla"
}
BaseFloat threshold;
#定义一个threshold,两个list: target_scores, nontarget_scores
BaseFloat eer = ComputeEer(&target_scores, &nontarget_scores, &threshold);
KALDI_LOG << "Equal error rate is " << (100.0 * eer)
<< "%, at threshold " << threshold;
std::cout.precision(4);
std::cout << (100.0 * eer);
return 0;
下面看ComputeEer(&target_scores, &nontarget_scores, &threshold)的实现
{
#将两个都从大到小排列
std::sort(target_scores->begin(), target_scores->end());
std::sort(nontarget_scores->begin(), nontarget_scores->end());
size_t target_position = 0,
target_size = target_scores->size();
for (; target_position + 1 < target_size; target_position++) {
size_t nontarget_size = nontarget_scores->size(), #计算nontarget的个数
#比如nontarget_size=100 ,target_size=100 这个 nontarget_n 属于[0,100],
#所以nontarget_positon 从99到-1
nontarget_n = nontarget_size * target_position * 1.0 / target_size;
nontarget_position = nontarget_size - 1 - nontarget_n;
if (nontarget_position < 0)
nontarget_position = 0;
#所以当nontarget_position 小于 target_position 的值的时候
if ((*nontarget_scores)[nontarget_position] <
(*target_scores)[target_position])
break;
}
*threshold = (*target_scores)[target_position];
BaseFloat eer = target_position * 1.0 / target_size;
return eer;
}
要理解这个函数的实现,其实在compute-eer里边还是一行注释:
ComputeEer computes the Equal Error Rate (EER) for the given scores
and returns it as a proportion beween 0 and 1.
If we set the threshold at x, then the target error-rate is the
proportion of target_scores below x; and the non-target error-rate
is the proportion of non-target scores above x. We seek a
threshold x for which these error rates are the same; this
error rate is the EER.
We compute this by iterating over the positions in target_scores: 0, 1, 2,
and so on, and for each position consider whether the cutoff could be here.
For each of these position we compute the corresponding position in
nontarget_scores where the cutoff would be if the EER were the same.
For instance, if the vectors had the same length, this would be position
length() - 1, length() - 2, and so on. As soon as the value at that
position in nontarget_scores at that position is less than the value from
target_scores, we have our EER.
下面拿一个例子用python简单模拟一下:
#coding: utf-8
'''
首先计算这一步,将target的得分和nontarget的得分文件
python local/prepare_for_eer.py data/test/trials exp/scores_gmm_2048_ind_female/plda_scores > scores
'''
target_scores = []
nontarget_scores = []
f = open('scores').readlines()
#将两个数组读出来
for line in f:
splits = line.strip().split(' ')
if splits[1] == 'target':
target_scores.append(eval(splits[0]))
else:
nontarget_scores.append(eval(splits[0]))
#排序,从小到大排序
target_scores = sorted(target_scores)
nontarget_scores = sorted(nontarget_scores)
print target_scores
target_size = len(target_scores)
target_position = 0
for target_position in range(target_size):
nontarget_size = len(nontarget_scores)
nontarget_n = nontarget_size * target_position * 1.0 / target_size
nontarget_position = int(nontarget_size - 1 - nontarget_n)
if nontarget_position < 0:
nontarget_position = 0
if nontarget_scores[nontarget_position] < target_scores[target_position]:
print "nontarget_scores[nontarget_position] is", nontarget_position, nontarget_scores[nontarget_position]
print "target_scores[target_position] is", target_position, target_scores[target_position]
break
threshold = target_scores[target_position]
print "threshold is --> ", threshold
eer = target_position * 1.0 / target_size
print "eer is --> ", eer
今天突然又想到一个问题,如果不用plda来计算score, 不管是余弦距离也好或者是其他的也好只要有分数,都可以用这个脚本”compute-eer score-file(target/nontarget score)”来计算EER.
