Did you find Deepstack difficult to implement?Seriously, Deepstack's barrier of entry is so high, it makes sense for BI to switch over to the easier-to-install Code Project AI.

I understand the CUDA install/config. I relied on some very helpful people in this forum to get that done. Once CUDA was installed, I found DS fairly easy to get up and going. I have zero experience with Code Project AI, but I plan to migrate do it once it supports my GPU and @MikeLud1 custom models.Not to me. I have been running deepstack for over a year. But the necessary steps to install CUDA and cuDNN for GPU deepstack is not the clearest. There are a few things that is not obvious (e.g. how to exclude default models, don't have spaces in the included model list, sometimes DS says occupied and not detect anything). If it was not for this community's support, it would be even harder to get it up and running. I'd imagine a lot of BI users or installers gave up trying to get it running. Now that I have been running deepstack for so long, I can't go back to getting all the false positive notifications from swaying tree shadows and spiderwebs. More BI users need to experience the power of AI object detection.
The biggest win with Code Project AI is its standalone installation package. Its DirectX support will make AI detection available to more users with AMD GPUs.
The animal model was trained with images containing bird, cat, dog, horse, sheep, cow, bear, deer, rabbit, raccoon, fox, skunk, squirrel, pig. Some of the images are at night.I believe the animal model includes day and night images. I doubt it includes deer, fox, raccoon, bear or other animals like that
The current version of CodeProject.AI does support custom models. I am hoping they will have GPU support soon. They are ironing out some bugs with the GPU support. Also they are going to update to newer AI code, DeepStack is using 2 year old AI code. When they update to newer AI code I will retrain my models with the newer code and should see better preforming models.I hope they come out with GPU support along with custom models too. I invested in a GPU just for DS so I will with stuck with DS until CodeProject supports GPU
I understand the desire to have BI include AI detection as a simple plugin (with essentially "checkbox" simplicity), but I can assure you that there is nothing particularly hard about installing it currently, at least with a basic CPU only install of DeepStack or SenseAI. Run the installer program for either one, then it is really just a matter of a few clicks in BI, and adding the desired named objects to be detected in the camera settings, so really not at all deep "command line" level work.One thing I would like to see from BI is proper integration as a plug in. I have yet to set mine up but reading the Wiki on DS, it seems it has to be run via command line etc. It seems many functions are controlled the same way. That's very user unfriendly and it would be nice to see a verion of BI where AI can simply be added as a plug in through a menu and then be controlled from within BI, very much like most photoshop etc plugins where you simply add them and then they work. Either that, or maybe BI should go down the totally integrated route and simply build an AI into the program itself. I'm presuming the reason they don't go the latter route is becasue an AI developer would probably want royalties or an outright purchase of AI plus further money to keep developing it, and be able to hold the BI developer to ransom. At least with plugins BI isn't tied to any one AI and it's up to AI developers to offer soemthing comapitble. Still doesn't avoid it becoming a separate purchase though.
I thought pretty much this, too, until I installed it, set it up one camera, and it was working on my first try.
