VTC is a video-based traffic counting application for Windows computers. VTC targets Windows 10 but should also work on Windows 7, Vista and 8. VTC does not have any strict hardware dependencies, but a modern nVidia discrete GPU is highly recommended. GTX1060 has been tested; at least 4GB of RAM in the GPU is recommended. The GPU must be nVidia-brand in order to yield a performance improvement; VTC requires CUDA to accelerate image-recognition tasks. Information related to setup, configuration and troubleshooting can be found here: roadometry.com/information.html See the following link for an example of a video-count report generated by VTC: roadometry.com/report.html During debugging it's…from github.com
