Computer Vision

This page describes the collection of Computer Vision software on HiperGator. Computer vision is a crucial field of artificial intelligence that enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images, videos and other visual inputs. Research Computing AI support will help with building new and finetuning existing advanced models for various tasks including image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, etc. via support requests or consulting.

Deep Learning Frameworks

There are preinstalled and configured environments on HiPerGator for the most frequently used deep learning frameworks including tensorflow, pytorch, and MxNet. The available deep learning frameworks can be queried using

 module spider [pytorch/tensorflow/mxnet] 

Users can also customize their own conda environment following this tutorial: Managing Python environments and Jupyter kernels
