## Choose when

### Choose BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU if…

- License: BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU is BSD-3-Clause, RobustVideoMatting is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU: darknet, docker-container, gpu-support, inference-api.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- When you need to deploy a no-code object detection API leveraging both YOLOv3 and YOLOv4 frameworks, and require high-performance inference with GPU support through Docker containerization.

### Choose RobustVideoMatting if…

- License: RobustVideoMatting is GPL-3.0, BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU is BSD-3-Clause.
- Pricing: The tool is freely available under GPL-3.0, with no associated costs..
- Requirements: A relevant inference framework such as PyTorch or TensorFlow must be installed.; The tool requires a GPU for optimal performance, particularly for handling high-resolution videos..
- Tags unique to RobustVideoMatting: ai, computer-vision, deep-learning, machine-learning.
- When working with human video matting that requires high frames per second, as it can achieve 4K 76FPS and HD 104FPS on Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti GPU.

## When NOT to use BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU

- Avoid using BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU if you need to perform inference without a GPU setup since it specifically leverages NVIDIA GPU drivers and does not provide native support for other hardware.
- Do not use this tool when needing multi-platform deployment out of the box, as the no-code interface and documentation focus primarily on Linux systems with Docker.

## When NOT to use RobustVideoMatting

- If you require matting capabilities that do not focus on human-like targets, as RVM is specifically designed with this in mind.
- In scenarios where a model smaller than the MobileNetv3 or ResNet50 options provided by the tool cannot be used due to memory constraints or speed requirements.
