The issue:
Previously the output videofile had detections off by 1 frame from the video.
The reason:
The darknet_image is overwritten in video_capture every time it's being created because it sits in the same memory so effectively the darknet_image_queue is not working properly

Changes:

  • darknet_image is created in every iteration of video_capture so every new darknet_image sits in different memory
  • remove limitations on max_size of the queue. I believe the limitations were put there to avoid the issue above, but it only made it so the result was off by one frame. Now that that's not an issue there is no reason to have max_size for any of the queques

Added maxsize so there is no memory overload in case too many frames load for the detect_image.
I was getting a memory problem because as `darknet_image` is created in every iteration of `video_capture`, it is not being released by the `darknet_image_queue` when it gets `.get()`. 

To fix it I make a list of darknet_images that is larger than the size of the queue. The list is being repeatedly updated with new darknet_images in `video_capture`, but the image that has not been processed yet, is never overwritten. A bit of a hacky fix, but it works.
Define `darknet_images`
