What is the point of threads?

Hey,
I was just curious, what's the point of threads here? Wouldn't GIL just prevent you from utilizing multi CPU setting?

hey @abaybektursun , I used threads to separate the display of the incoming video feed from the underlying Object Detection and tracking for a more smooth video output. You can try customizing the code to run without using threads to see the difference if you'd like.

@omarabid59 How exactly do u do that? I want to try running the algorithm in a video for every frame. Thanks in advance.
