+run_detector.py
+
+Module to run an animal detection model on images.  The main function in this script also renders
+the predicted bounding boxes on images and saves the resulting images (with bounding boxes).
+
+**This script is not a good way to process lots of images**.  It does not produce a useful
+output format, and it does not facilitate checkpointing the results so if it crashes you
+would have to start from scratch. **If you want to run a detector on lots of images, you should
+check out run_detector_batch.py**.
+
+That said, this script (run_detector.py) is a good way to test our detector on a handful of images
+and get super-satisfying, graphical results.
+
+If you would like to *not* use the GPU, set the environment variable CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to "-1".
+
+This script will only consider detections with > 0.005 confidence at all times.
+The threshold you provide is only for rendering the results. If you need to
+see lower-confidence detections, you can change DEFAULT_OUTPUT_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD.
