prediction box score must be sorted?

[SungjunKim1]

1. I think score must be sorted because this code :

else:
            r_index = r_index[-1]
            p_index = np.where(proposal_list[:r_index+1] == 1)[0]

in

def img_pr_info(thresh_num, pred_info, proposal_list, pred_recall):
    pr_info = np.zeros((thresh_num, 2)).astype('float')
    for t in range(thresh_num):

        thresh = 1 - (t+1)/thresh_num
        r_index = np.where(pred_info[:, 4] >= thresh)[0]
        if len(r_index) == 0:
            pr_info[t, 0] = 0
            pr_info[t, 1] = 0
        else:
            r_index = r_index[-1]
            p_index = np.where(proposal_list[:r_index+1] == 1)[0]
            pr_info[t, 0] = len(p_index)
            pr_info[t, 1] = pred_recall[r_index]
    return pr_info

2. Do you know why normalize a score ? if you know, let me know please ..

def norm_score(pred):
    """ norm score
    pred {key: [[x1,y1,x2,y2,s]]}
    """

    max_score = 0
    min_score = 1

    for _, k in pred.items():
        for _, v in k.items():
            if len(v) == 0:
                continue
            _min = np.min(v[:, -1])
            _max = np.max(v[:, -1])
            max_score = max(_max, max_score)
            min_score = min(_min, min_score)

    diff = max_score - min_score
    for _, k in pred.items():
        for _, v in k.items():
            if len(v) == 0:
                continue
            v[:, -1] = (v[:, -1] - min_score)/diff
