<p>This paper addresses the problem of the supervised assessment of
hierarchical region-based image representations. Given the large
amount of partitions represented in such structures, the supervised
assessment approaches in the literature are based on selecting
a reduced set of representative partitions and evaluating their
quality. Assessment results, therefore, depend on the partition selection
strategy used. Instead, we propose to find the partition in the tree
that best matches the ground-truth partition, that is, the
upper-bound partition selection.</p><p>We show that different partition
selection algorithms can lead to different conclusions regarding
the quality of the assessed trees and that the <strong>upper-bound
partition selection</strong> provides the following advantages:
1) it does not limit the assessment to a reduced set of partitions,
and 2) it better discriminates the random trees from actual
ones, which reflects a better qualitative behavior. We model the
problem as a Linear Fractional Combinatorial Optimization (LFCO)
problem, which makes the upper-bound selection feasible and
efficient.</p>
