FiberFind AI modules
The AI modules of FiberFind – Identify Fibers (AI) and Identify Binder (AI) - are only available in the GeoDict GUI if a corresponding license (FiberFind-AI) is available. Otherwise, only the analytic modules of FiberFind can be used.
FiberFind - Identify Fibers (AI) and Identify Binder (AI) use PyTorch, one of the most used and well-known machine learning libraries. The required version of PyTorch will be installed during GeoDict installation and FiberFind will work out of the box.
FiberFind can run on the CPU (the main processor) or on the GPU (the graphics card). If a suitable GPU is detected, FiberFind- Identify Fibers (AI) and Identify Binder (AI) will run on the GPU, otherwise on the CPU. An example of how to choose the Batch Size is given under GPU Options in the Identify Fibers (AI) section.

Note! The GPU version is usually much faster (roughly factor 10) than the CPU version, but it requires:
Please make sure your drivers are installed and up to date. For the version of CUDA required by GeoDict, you need at least version 450.80.02 of the NVidia driver for Linux or version 452.39 for Windows.
