Qustion about low test score thresholds

[bisdan]

Hello everyone,

I am curious why test score thresholds are set so low in most config files (about 0.05). My understanding is that during bbox evaluation this threshold is varied anyways to obtain the precision-recall curve, then calculate the area under the curve and obtain the average precision (AP). However, this should lead to a high false positive rate during inference.

Is the score threshold set so low just to get higher AP scores during testing?

Thanks
