In recent years, several advances have been observed in Deep Learning with surprising results. Models in this area have been increasingly used in numerous applications, including those sensitive to human life, which require clear explanations and justifications. Various explainability methods have been proposed, but not many metrics to evaluate these methods. The most commonly used metric is the Intersection over Union (IoU). However, due to the characteristics of the results of the explainability methods, called saliency maps, which do not have a known shape, we hypothesise that there must be a better metric that allows one to find an explainability method that produces results that best resemble the human perception. We propose using different metrics to assess the similarity between human perception and the explanation saliency maps to find a better metric. An investigation was conducted employing a subset of the Chihuahuas images from ImageNet dataset. Several CAM-based explainability methods were used to generate saliency maps for each chihuahua image. Alignment was measured by applying distance metrics between the bounding box of human annotations and the saliency maps produced by each explainability method. Rankings of the best saliency maps were created using the results of the distance metrics and compared to the ranking obtained using people's choice, collected through crowdsourcing, of the best explanation saliency maps for each selected image. Comparison between rankings was performed using the Rank-Biased Overlap (RBO) metric. The results indicate the feasibility of our method to find the explainability method that best resembles human perception. In our experiments, the two metrics that best resemble human perception corresponded to Manhattan and Correlation. Besides, the best explainability methods regarding human perception were LayerCAM, Score-CAM, and IS-CAM.
