I don't think I have "cuda" installed? where do I get that?

Below is the link to download CUDA 11.8. After install CUDA 11.8 run the below install_CUDnn.bat

https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.8.0/local_installers/cuda_11.8.0_522.06_windows.exe

ok... installed 11.8.0.522.06 from the link above... re-ran the test, still not working... that nvcc --version command still is not recognized either though...

This looks good

nvcc --version worked this time...

nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2022 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Wed_Sep_21_10:41:10_Pacific_Daylight_Time_2022
Cuda compilation tools, release 11.8, V11.8.89
Build cuda_11.8.r11.8/compiler.31833905_0

i re-ran the test again though, still "No predictions returned"

So now nvcc --version is working. Next download the below and run install_cudnn.bat. After running the bat file reboot the PC.

Tried cropping the image to just the car, and just the plate as well.... still no dice...

If it does not work there is one more step needed, the below post has the last step. Also one more reboot.

Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

Yes Docker Desktop for windows. I've used the commands above, spun up a new container and I see YOLOv5 6.2 is using GPU. Should I still switch it to .NET? You can test which one is faster for you using CodeProject.AI Explorer, I find .NET to be faster.

Does it show CUDA like below the first plate read is always slow, the next one should be faster.

Stop Object Detection (YOLOv5 6.2) and start Object Detection (YOLOv5 .NET) it is faster

Looks like it caught the plate in the logs!

[jeremycolvin]

is there a more GUI way of seeing the plates caught other than shifting manually through the logs?
