Software Application Overview: AI Object Detection Inference for Video

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Object detection has many different uses in Command and Control (C2) systems such as autonomous control, target tracking, threat detection, and general surveillance. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are the de-facto standard hardware for these types of workloads in datacenter environments. Still, when deploying to an edge environment many considerations are required to ensure an optimized deployment. This paper provides a general overview of how to utilize GPUs for AI inference for object detection at the edge using NVIDIA<sup>®</sup> HoloScan as well as an overview of the many considerations to account for when selecting the most optimal GPU for any specific ground vehicle solution.</div></div>
