Compiling OpenCV with CUDA support - PyImageSearch

Alight, so you have the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit and cuDNN library installed on your GPU-enabled system. Let's get OpenCV installed with CUDA support as well. While OpenCV itself doesn't play a critical role in deep learning, it is used by other deep learning libraries such as Caffe, specifically in "utility" programs (such as building a dataset of images). Simply put, having OpenCV installed makes it easier to write code to facilitate the procedure of pre-processing images prior to feeding them into deep neural networks. Because of this, we should install OpenCV into the same environment as our deep learning libraries, to at the very least, make our lives easier.
