1. An apparatus for optimizing object detection performed by an autonomous vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

  • a memory operative to store;

    a plurality of images captured by an autonomous vehicle using a plurality of object detection parameters;

    a first plurality of object label parameters determined by the autonomous vehicle; and

    a second plurality of object label parameters applied by a reviewer having reviewed the plurality of images captured by the autonomous vehicle, the first and second pluralities of object label parameters defining a shape bounding a detected object; and

    a processor in communication with the memory, the processor operative to;

    determine whether to optimize the plurality of object detection parameters based on a comparison of the first plurality of object label parameters with the second plurality of object label parameters; and

    perform an operation on the plurality of object detection parameters based on the comparison of the first plurality of object label parameters with the second plurality of object label parameters, wherein the operation comprises;

    identifying a plurality of object detection values, wherein each object detection value corresponds to at least one object detection parameter in the plurality of object detection parameters;

    for each combination of the plurality of object detection values, performing an object detection routine on the plurality of images captured by the autonomous vehicle using the plurality of object detection values; and

    selecting the combination of the plurality of object detection values that resulted in an optimal object detection routine.
