Support running network prediction on an OpenGL texture
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Hi, thanks for creating these bindings! I wanted to run a darknet network on an OpenGL texture which I already have in GPU memory, so the round-trip from GPU to CPU and back was a bit heavy for me (as well as the CPU operations to put the image into the right format that darknet expects).
I have a prototype working, but I'm not sure how best to contribute it, and I want to know if it's desired from others or not.
This repo points to a somewhat old version of darknet (04b0b15), but I made my modifications based on that commit. If we were to create new bindings, we would either have to point this repo's submodule to a fork which contains the OpenGL code, or merge the OpenGL work upstream and base it on the latest master branch. In that case, the bindings here would probably need to be updated and it could potentially be more work than expected.
What would you recommend I do?
After all that, the higher level darknet crate would then need to be modified with new functions to support running the network from a texture, but that part is pretty easy.
Closing since it is probably better to ask in main darknet repo.
