Common approach: Berkeley Segmentation Dataset (BSDS300) [1] using the precision-recall framework introduced in [2]. Taken from [3].
The BSDS300 consists of 200 training and 100 test images, each with multiple ground-truth segmentations.
An extension of the BSDS300 is created (BSDS500) [3]. It is is an extension of the BSDS300, where the original 300 images are used for training / validation and 200 fresh images, together with human annotations, are added for testing. Each image was segmented by five different subjects on average. Performance is evaluated by measuring Precision / Recall on detected boundaries and three additional region-based metrics.
