-**Reasoning: State-of-the-art performance, real-time inference, pre-trained weights, easy integration**
2. **Hardware considerations (CPU vs GPU impact)?**
-**Training: GPU recommended (5-10 min vs 30-60 min CPU)**
-**Inference: CPU sufficient for real-time, GPU better for batch processing**
-**Implementation: Auto-detection with fallback**
3. **Video input approach?**
-**Approach described: Frame extraction + batch processing + temporal tracking**
-**Implementation strategy provided with pseudo-code**
