+    This function computes the (Normalized) Surface Dice (NSD) between the two tensors `y_pred` (referred to as
+    :math:`\hat{Y}`) and `y` (referred to as :math:`Y`). This metric determines which fraction of a segmentation
+    boundary is correctly predicted. A boundary element is considered correctly predicted if the closest distance to the
+    reference boundary is smaller than or equal to the specified threshold related to the acceptable amount of deviation in
+    pixels. The NSD is bounded between 0 and 1.
+
+    This implementation supports multi-class tasks with an individual threshold :math:`\tau_c` for each class :math:`c`.
+    The class-specific NSD for batch index :math:`b`, :math:`\operatorname {NSD}_{b,c}`, is computed using the function:
+
+    .. math::
+        \operatorname {NSD}_{b,c} \left(Y_{b,c}, \hat{Y}_{b,c}\right) = \frac{\left|\mathcal{D}_{Y_{b,c}}^{'}\right| +

+        :label: nsd
+
+    with :math:`\mathcal{D}_{Y_{b,c}}` and :math:`\mathcal{D}_{\hat{Y}_{b,c}}` being two sets of nearest-neighbor
+    distances. :math:`\mathcal{D}_{Y_{b,c}}` is computed from the predicted segmentation boundary towards the reference segmentation
+    boundary and vice-versa for :math:`\mathcal{D}_{\hat{Y}_{b,c}}`. :math:`\mathcal{D}_{Y_{b,c}}^{'}` and
+    :math:`\mathcal{D}_{\hat{Y}_{b,c}}^{'}` refer to the subsets of distances that are smaller or equal to the
+    acceptable distance :math:`\tau_c`:
+
+    .. math::
+        \mathcal{D}_{Y_{b,c}}^{'} = \{ d \in \mathcal{D}_{Y_{b,c}} \, | \, d \leq \tau_c \}.
+
+
+    In the case of a class neither being present in the predicted segmentation, nor in the reference segmentation, a nan value
+    will be returned for this class. In the case of a class being present in only one of predicted segmentation or
+    reference segmentation, the class NSD will be 0.
