# meanAveragePrecision(predictions:annotations:confidenceThresholds:overlapThreshold:)

Calculates the mean average precision at the bounding box overlap threshold.

```
func meanAveragePrecision<Scalar>(predictions: [[DetectedObject<Label>]], annotations: [ObjectDetectionAnnotation<Label>], confidenceThresholds: [Label : Float] = [:], overlapThreshold: Double = 0.5) -> Scalar where Scalar : BinaryFloatingPoint
```

## Parameters

`predictions`

A list of all the predictions from an object detection model. Each element in the list is a list of predictions from one image.

`annotations`

A list of all the annotations. Each element is an `ObjectDetectionAnnotation` object from one image.

`confidenceThresholds`

Confidence thresholds for each label. The values will always be between 0.0 and 1.0.
If any label does not have a threshold, the `defaultConfidenceThreshold` is used for that label. The default value is `[:]`.

`overlapThreshold`

The overlap threshold for the bounding boxes. The value will always be between 0.0 and 1.0. The default value is `0.5`.

## Return Value

The mean average precision at the overlap threshold.
