[sfmig]

• integrate guide from Run Inference on cluster #189

---

Description

What is this PR?

• Bug fix
• Addition of a new feature
• Other

Why is this PR needed?
To run detection and tracking on a list of videos, using the cluster.

What does this PR do?

• It adds a bash script for running inference, which incorporates the changes from Add flag to omit timestamp in output directory #253 and previous work.
• It adds a command to remove the created conda environment to all the bash scripts that create one in the compute node.
  • otherwise if a node is repeatedly visited in an array job, it may get out of memory to store them all.
• It removes the source ~/.bashrc step from all scripts (it was commented out)
• It adds a guide for running a detect+track command over a set of videos in the cluster.
  • It follows the evaluation guide and implements some updates to the code.
• It makes a small edit to the evaluation in the cluster guide.

References

MLflow logging is still pending (PR #254) so we don't make use of it for logging outputs in this script either.

How has this PR been tested?

The bash script has been used to successfully evaluate an array of videos (pointing to the PR branch rather than main).

Does this PR require an update to the documentation?

Yes, a guide has been added.

Checklist:
