    摘要: Methods, systems and computer readable media for facilitating analysis of feature extraction outputs across multiple extractions. A feature extraction output of an extraction resulting from feature extraction of an array is inputted, and global statistics and array processing parameters are extracted from the feature extraction output. A table/file is populated with the extracted global statistics and array processing parameters of the extraction. The inputting, extracting and populating steps are repeated for at least one additional feature extraction output of another extraction, so that the table/file includes global statistics that can be readily cross-compared over multiple extractions with reference to a single table or file. Methods, systems and computer readable media are provided for setting threshold values for metrics that global statistics are provided for. An evaluation metric may be set by a user, based upon the threshold values set for the metrics. A metric set including the metrics and optionally one or more thresholds and optionally an evaluation metric may be stored and/or applied to additional global statistics for those metrics to evaluate the quality of one or more extractions. A set of reports are provided for facilitating analysis of feature extraction outputs across multiple extractions. A diagnostic tool is provided for identifying and diagnosing potential problems in feature extraction outputs.
