I have the GPU version loaded so far face detections is about the same. Object detection might be a little better.

 

[wittaj]

Getting ready to try that version as well.

You have been successful with faces and BI?

@MikeLud1 Did you uninstall first or just overwrite for the install?

No, normally I have it disabled. I turned it on just to see if there was an improvement.

I did uninstall it first.

Thanks, Mike. That's what I was planning but thought maybe an overwrite would work. The DS uninstall doesn't appear to be really "clean".

The windows cpu download was blocked by Microsoft as a virus.

Because its a brand new file with no history. There is no virus. Upload it to virustotal and see for yourself.

After the uninstall I deleted the DeepStack folder.

I am using Norton Antivirus and I had to tell it the file was ok to install.

Remember most of these commercial anti-virus programs are not actually inspecting the code - they are simply looking at the total number of users that are using it, so a new file or something that the algorithm says not many people have, and it will come up as a virus. Train your own DeepStack custom model and it will say it is a virus too.

 

[MikeLud1]

It looks like the development team will start doing more frequent updates to DeepStack

 

[wittaj]

I haven't noticed an increase in time with the new version, but the % is higher on most objects.

Does DeepStack install everything to the C:\DeepStack folder? I would like to be able to just rename that folder to 'DeepStack old version' or something and do a fresh install into a new DeepStack folder that way I could easily revert if I wanted to

Yep, what I did when I went from CPU to GPU version was just changed it to DeepStackCPU and had both on there and then by just changing where BI looked for it, I had both to try against each other.

Sounds good - thanks

I upgraded over the previous version and have not had any issues.

I upgraded over the previous version and have not had any issues.

Is that as simple as executing the installer EXE (DeepStack-Installer-CPU-2021.09.1.exe) and letting it do its thing as though it was a new install?
