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

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

## Declaration

```swift
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

Return Value The mean average precision at the overlap threshold.
