当前实现 / Current Implementation

# 逐帧处理，效率低 / Frame-by-frame processing, inefficient
for i in range(n_frames):
    x_s_info = self.get_kp_info(frame[i])  # 逐帧调用 / Frame-by-frame call
    # ... 其他处理 / Other processing

性能影响 / Performance Impact

中文:

1. GPU利用率低: GPU在处理单帧时未被充分利用
2. 推理速度慢: 无法发挥批处理的并行优势
3. 内存带宽浪费: 频繁的数据传输

English:

1. Low GPU utilization: GPU is not fully utilized when processing single frames
2. Slow inference: Cannot leverage parallel advantages of batch processing
3. Memory bandwidth waste: Frequent data transfers

    """批量处理帧 / Process frames in batches"""
    results = []
    for i in range(0, len(frames), batch_size):
        batch = frames[i:i+batch_size]
        
        # 批量提取特征 / Extract features in batches
        batch_tensor = torch.stack([
            self.prepare_source(frame) for frame in batch
        ])
        
        with torch.no_grad():
            # 批量推理 / Batch inference
            kp_info_batch = self.get_kp_info_batch(batch_tensor)
            features_batch = self.extract_feature_3d_batch(batch_tensor)
        
        # 处理结果 / Process results
        for j in range(len(batch)):
            result = self.process_single_result(
                kp_info_batch[j],
                features_batch[j]
            )
            results.append(result)
    
    return results

    """批量提取关键点信息 / Extract keypoint information in batches"""
    with torch.no_grad():
        kp_info = self.motion_extractor(batch_tensor)
    return kp_info

方案2: Pipeline并行 / Solution 2: Pipeline Parallelism

    def __init__(self, frames):
        self.frames = frames
    
    def __len__(self):
        return len(self.frames)
    
    def __getitem__(self, idx):
        return self.prepare_source(self.frames[idx])

# 使用DataLoader / Use DataLoader
dataset = VideoDataset(frames)
dataloader = DataLoader(
    dataset,
    batch_size=8,
    shuffle=False,
    num_workers=4,  # 多进程加载 / Multi-process loading
    pin_memory=True  # 加速GPU传输 / Accelerate GPU transfer
)

for batch in dataloader:
    results = model.process_batch(batch)

        self.queue = []
        self.results = {}
        self.max_queue_size = max_queue_size
    
    def add_frame(self, frame_idx, frame):
        """添加帧到队列 / Add frame to queue"""
        self.queue.append((frame_idx, frame))
        
        # 队列满时处理 / Process when queue is full
        if len(self.queue) >= self.batch_size:
            self._process_queue()
    
    def _process_queue(self):
        """处理队列中的帧 / Process frames in queue"""
        if not self.queue:
            return
        
        indices, frames = zip(*self.queue)
        batch_results = self.model.process_batch(list(frames))
        
        # 保存结果 / Save results
        for idx, result in zip(indices, batch_results):
            self.results[idx] = result
        
        self.queue.clear()
    
    def get_results(self):
        """获取所有结果 / Get all results"""
        self._process_queue()  # 处理剩余帧 / Process remaining frames
        return [self.results[i] for i in sorted(self.results.keys())]
