Breaking the Bottleneck: GPU-Optimised Video Processing for Deep Learning | Towards Data Science

Deep Learning (DL) applications often require processing video data for tasks such as object detection, classification, and segmentation. However, conventional video processing pipelines are typically inefficient for deep learning inference, leading to performance bottlenecks. In this post will leverage PyTorch and FFmpeg with NVIDIA hardware acceleration to achieve this optimisation. The inefficiency comes from how video frames are typically decoded and transferred between CPU and GPU. The standard workflow that we may find in the
