ImageAI Object Detection Very Slow

Question

I have been attempting to make a program that can identify objects on my screen using python. With the help of this tutorial: https://stackabuse.com/object-detection-with-imageai-in-python, I have created the following code.

import pyautogui
import cv2
import time
import os

os.add_dll_directory("C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v11.4/bin")

from imageai.Detection import ObjectDetection
import tensorflow as tf

detector = ObjectDetection()

model_path = "./models/yolo-tiny.h5"
input_path = "./input/test45.jpg"
output_path = "./output/newimage.jpg"

detector.setModelTypeAsTinyYOLOv3()
detector.setModelPath(model_path)
detector.loadModel(detection_speed="fastest")
while True:
    start_time = time.time()
    x = np.array(pyautogui.screenshot())
    x = cv2.cvtColor(x, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
    y, detection = detector.detectObjectsFromImage(input_type="array", input_image=x, output_type="array")
    for eachItem in detection:
        print(eachItem["name"] , " : ", eachItem["percentage_probability"])
    print("FPS: ", 1.0 / (time.time() - start_time))

I would like to be able to achieve 20-30 fps, however, I can only get around 1 fps and I do not know what is slowing it down.

My specs are:

2 x RTX 3060
Intel i7 4770
24GB RAM

All help is greatly appreciated.

Is the program using your CPU or GPU? If it uses the CPU, you might wanna check that you have the right version of tensorflow-gpu installed (if at all). ImageAI will prefer your GPU if it has access to it, but 20-30fps is pretty much impossible with it - too inefficient.
