+
+Module to run MegaDetector on lots of images, writing the results
+to a file in the MegaDetector results format.
+
+https://github.com/agentmorris/MegaDetector/tree/main/api/batch_processing#megadetector-batch-output-format
+
+This enables the results to be used in our post-processing pipeline; see
+api/batch_processing/postprocessing/postprocess_batch_results.py .
+
+This script can save results to checkpoints intermittently, in case disaster
+strikes. To enable this, set --checkpoint_frequency to n > 0, and results 
+will be saved as a checkpoint every n images. Checkpoints will be written 
+to a file in the same directory as the output_file, and after all images
+are processed and final results file written to output_file, the temporary
+checkpoint file will be deleted. If you want to resume from a checkpoint, set
+the checkpoint file's path using --resume_from_checkpoint.
+
+The `threshold` you can provide as an argument is the confidence threshold above
+which detections will be included in the output file.
+
+Has multiprocessing support for CPUs only; if a GPU is available, it will
+use the GPU instead of CPUs, and the --ncores option will be ignored.  Checkpointing
+is not supported when using a GPU.
+
+The lack of GPU multiprocessing support might sound annoying, but in practice we
+run a gazillion MegaDetector images on multiple GPUs using this script, we just only use
+one GPU *per invocation of this script*.  Dividing a big batch of images into one chunk
+per GPU happens outside of this script.
+
+Does not have a command-line option to bind the process to a particular GPU, but you can 
+prepend with "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 ", for example, to bind to GPU 0, e.g.:
+
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python detection/run_detector_batch.py md_v4.1.0.pb ~/data ~/mdv4test.json 
+
+You can disable GPU processing entirely by setting CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=''.
