Hello devs,
I've been playing with OpenCV lately and I did notice that a lot of time and resources are spent on things like classifier training, detection, etc. This is especially true when doing calculations on low performance devices. I have some unutilized high performance machines (100+ cpu threads, 40gb memory, etc) that I want to put to a good use, so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in using a service that would allow you to move your OpenCV calculations to 'the cloud'? Kind of like Heroku for OpenCV!
Basic idea is that you would do the calculations remotely either via a webpage or using an API. This would allow you to do things like cascade training in matter of hours instead days/weeks. If this were to gain traction we could expand the idea to cover other things like object detection with custom classifiers and much more, all done somewhere in the cloud without you having to do the coding manually and on the local machine.
Let me know what you think about the idea. Also, if anyone out there is interested in joining forces in such a project, feel free to reach out
