Training such systems requires substantial time across multiple GPUs and massive labeled training datasets. Although the goal of these systems is generalizability, they are often impractical in real-life applications due to flexibility, robustness, or speed issues. This paper proposes RMOPP: A robust multi-objective post-processing algorithm to boost the performance of fast pre-trained object detectors with a negligible impact on their speed. Specifically, RMOPP is a statistically driven, post-processing algorithm that allows for simultaneous optimization of precision and recall. A unique feature of RMOPP is the Pareto frontier that identifies dominant possible post-processed detectors to optimize for both precision and recall. RMOPP explores the full potential of a pre-trained object detector and is deployable for near real-time predictions. We also provide a compelling test case on YOLOv2 using the MS-COCO dataset. ## Recorded benchmark results A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. ## Original sources and implementation [Original paper]() [PDF]()
