Tuning Parameters

Parameter tuning is one of the biggest challenges in computer vision - what works well for one image may not work at all with different lighting and/or backgrounds.

Computer Vision Engineers gain an intuition over time for ranges of parameters and different techniques that might work best for a set of situations. When getting started, this can be a big hill to climb. Oftentimes, building a tool to help speed up your iteration between different techniques and thresholds can help you in parameter tuning.

While it's not required for the project, you might consider reading this blog post from a fellow Self-Driving Car student on their approach to a parameter tuning tool, and consider building one of your own in the future!
