📊 Performance

Benchmarks

Hardware: NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB VRAM)

Media Type	Processing Time	Accuracy*
Audio (10s)	~2.5 seconds	~85%
Video (30s, 30 frames)	~8 seconds	~82%
Image	~0.3 seconds	~80%

*Accuracy on demo dataset (not fine-tuned)

Optimization Tips

For Faster Processing:

Reduce num_frames for videos (e.g., 20 instead of 30)
Use GPU acceleration (CUDA)
Process multiple files in batches

For Better Accuracy:

Fine-tune models on domain-specific datasets
Increase num_frames for videos
Use ensemble of multiple models

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue 1: Import Errors

ImportError: No module named 'audio_detector'

Solution: Ensure audio_detector.py and video_detector.py are in the same directory as app.py.

Issue 2: CUDA Out of Memory

RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory

Solution:

Reduce batch size
Use CPU instead: Set device = "cpu" in detector files
Close other GPU-intensive applications

Issue 3: Model Download Fails

ConnectionError: Failed to download model

Solution:

Check internet connection
Try again (models cache after first download)
Manually download from Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-base

Issue 4: File Upload Fails

413 Request Entity Too Large

Solution: Increase file size limit in app.py:

app.config['MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH'] = 200 * 1024 * 1024  # 200MB

Issue 5: Video Processing Slow

Solution:

Reduce num_frames parameter (e.g., 15-20)
Enable GPU acceleration
Use smaller video files for testing
