For me, a larger issue of the code is the handling of missing detection files.
The solution proposed so far in this case is to run intersect-gt-and-dr.py to sort those files out which do not have a detection file. However, this completely removes the respective groundtruth information from the evaluation, hence does not provide a correct evaluation of the detection, i.e. the false negatives are not taken into account in those cases. One solution is to add empty detection files for those images where no detections are provided, as has been proposed in #60.
With some small changes, this PR makes it unnecessary to perform the extra step of balancing the detection and groundtruth files. The script can now be run with any number of detection files which for me is much more intuitive. It will still be checked however, if there are groundtruth files for each detection file which may be arguable depending on the application (e.g. for not fully annotated datasets).
PR includes some minor changes for easier Path handling using pathlib.
