1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to:
receive a first set of object shape data corresponding to a baseline object;
permute the first set of object shape data to generate a second set of object shape data;
provide the second set of object shape data to a differentiable pipeline to generate an output scene, wherein the output scene contains an optimized object that is based on the second set of object shape data; and
determine, using a detector, if the optimized object can be identified in the output scene.
