is this useful in real-time detection?

[pelre]

hello, deep learning newbie here.
can this be used in real time detection? and if so, is it API rewriting? which function do I use to try and get it to work?

[zhreshold]

see #6

[pelre]

thanks, the rewrite api files are in the include folder right?

[zhreshold]

Yes, but you may not need to rewrite it, just use it for frame by frame processing.

[pelre]

frame by frame processing works for real-time detection as well? woah, I had no idea, so I can get it to detect on a webcam and such?

[zhreshold]

Well, if you want real-time, you need a gpu at least.

I got a pretty good gpu at the moment, object detection on videos work well, how do I begin with real-time detection? Thanks for being so helpful 👍

[zhreshold]

You need to enable GPU in mxnet, but it's not written in makefile right now.

[pelre]

oh alright, so all I have to do is enable GPU in the makefile? I'd gladly do so, but the only thing is I can't see the makefile in the directory

mxnet/amagamation

[pelre]

the amalgamation folder is not the windows branch, could it still work if I use the makefile from the master branch?

[zhreshold]

the win branch is what I pre-built with visual studio, you can use amalgamation or simply build the entire lib using VS, either one is ok. The latter have an official tutorial on dmlc/mxnet
