### `validate_config`

```python

```

Validates a detector config dict by passing the dict to the detector's pydantic model schema.

| Name       | Type   | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                              |
| ---------- | ------ | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `cfg`      | `dict` |         | The detector config dict.                                                                                                                                                |
| `resolved` | `bool` | `False` | Whether the config is resolved or not. For example, if resolved=True, `x_ref` is expected to be a np.ndarray, wheras if resolved=False, `x_ref` is expected to be a str. |

**Returns**

* Type: `dict`
