8. Unzip and Relocate 📁➡️

Open the .zip TensorRT file and move all the folders/files to the CUDA Toolkit folder, typically located at:

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8

9. Python TensorRT Installation 🎡

Once all the files are copied, run the following command to install TensorRT for Python:

pip install "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\python\tensorrt-8.6.1-cp311-none-win_amd64.whl"

🚨 Note: If this step doesn’t work, double-check that the .whl file matches your Python version (e.g., cp311 is for Python 3.11). Just locate the correct .whl file in the python folder and replace the path accordingly.

10. Set Your Environment Variables 🌎

Add the following paths to your environment variables:

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\lib
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\libnvvp
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\bin

Setting Up CUDA 11.8 with cuDNN on Windows

Once you have CUDA 11.8 installed and cuDNN properly configured, you need to set up your environment via cmd.exe to ensure that the system uses the correct version of CUDA (especially if multiple CUDA versions are installed).

Steps to Set Up CUDA 11.8 Using cmd.exe

1. Set the CUDA Path in cmd.exe

You need to add the CUDA 11.8 binaries to the environment variables in the current cmd.exe session.

Open cmd.exe and run the following commands:

set PATH=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\bin;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\libnvvp;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\extras\CUPTI\lib64;%PATH%

These commands add the CUDA 11.8 binary, lib, and CUPTI paths to your system's current session. Adjust the paths as necessary depending on your installation directory.

2. Verify the CUDA Version After setting the paths, you can verify that your system is using CUDA 11.8 by running:

nvcc --version

This should display the details of CUDA 11.8. If it shows a different version, check the paths and ensure the proper version is set.

3. Set the Environment Variables for a Persistent Session If you want to ensure CUDA 11.8 is used every time you open cmd.exe, you can add these paths to your system environment variables permanently:

4. Open Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings. Click on Environment Variables. Under System variables, select Path and click Edit. Add the following entries at the top of the list:

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\bin
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\libnvvp
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\extras\CUPTI\lib64

This ensures that CUDA 11.8 is prioritized when running CUDA applications, even on systems with multiple CUDA versions.

4. Set CUDA Environment Variables for cuDNN If you're using cuDNN, ensure the cudnn64_8.dll is also in your system path:

set PATH=C:\tools\cuda\bin;%PATH%

This should properly set up CUDA 11.8 to be used for your projects via cmd.exe.

Additional Information

• Ensure that your GPU drivers are up to date.
• You can check CUDA compatibility with other software (e.g., PyTorch or TensorFlow) by referring to their documentation for specific versions supported by CUDA 11.8.

🖼️ Region Capture

• Region for Capture (config.region in config.py): This setting defines the area of the screen that BetterCam will capture for object detection.
  • None: Captures the entire screen.
  • (x1, y1, x2, y2): Captures a specific portion of the screen defined by the coordinates (x1, y1) as the top-left corner and (x2, y2) as the bottom-right corner (e.g., (100, 100, 800, 600) will capture a section from (100,100) to (800,600)).

By adjusting this setting, you can focus the capture on a particular region of the screen, which can help reduce processing load and ignore unnecessary areas. It’s especially useful for games or applications where you only need to detect objects in a specific portion of the display.
