Setup

1. Install CUDA
2. Install CUDNN
3. Install nvidia driver
4. Build OPENCV with CUDA then Install
5. Compile Darknet v4

CUDA Installation

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu2004.pin
sudo mv cuda-ubuntu2004.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/ /"

sudo apt update
sudo apt install cuda

cuDNN installation

• Note - cuda v11.0 need cudnn v8.0.3.33

sudo mv cuda/include/cudnn*.h /usr/local/cuda/include/

OPENCV Installation with CUDA

Please reference to this pyimagesearch guide.

TLDR;

git clone opencv
git clone opencv_contrib
mkdir build && cd build

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
-D WITH_CUDA=ON -D ENABLE_FAST_MATH=1 -D CUDA_FAST_MATH=1 -D WITH_CUBLAS=1 \
-D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../../opencv_contrib/modules -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..
