Description
Hi all. I am really appriciate the awesome work, segment anything!
By the way, I want to know the meaning of "IoU score" and how it calcualted.
As far as I know, IoU means intersection over union so that its value ranges 0~1.
Unfortunately, when I tried an example notebook file ( /segment-anything/notebooks/predictor_example.ipynb )


I got the score over 1.
So I wanted to find what that "score" means and I searched out all released code,
but i could not find it yet :(
My questions are:
1. Can "IoU score" be over 1?
2. Can the output of MLP work as a 'score' such as confidence score?
Thank you in advance.

Open notebooks/predictor_example.ipynb and review the predictor output shown in the examples, then read the issue discussion for context. Done means documenting what the displayed score represents, whether values above 1 are expected, and how the MLP output should be interpreted.
