Multiprocessing in Python
When you work on a computer vision project, you probably need to preprocess a lot of image data. This is time-consuming, and it would be great if you could process multiple images in parallel. Multiprocessing is the ability of a system to run multiple processors at one time. If you had a computer with a single processor, it would switch between multiple processes to keep all of them running. However, most computers today have at least a multi-core processor, allowing several processes to be executed at once. The Python Multiprocessing Module is a tool for you to increase your scripts’ efficiency by allocating tasks to different processes.
