This commit unifies the async and sync mode from the DNN filters'
perspective. As of this commit, the Native backend only supports
synchronous execution mode.
Now the user can switch between async and sync mode by using the
'async' option in the backend_configs. The values can be 1 for
async and 0 for sync mode of execution.
This commit affects the following filters:
1. vf_dnn_classify
2. vf_dnn_detect
3. vf_dnn_processing
4. vf_sr
5. vf_derain
This commit also updates the filters vf_dnn_detect and vf_dnn_classify
to send only the input frame and send NULL as output frame instead of
input frame to the DNN backends.

This commit enables async execution in the TensorFlow backend
and adds function to flush extra frames.
The async execution mechanism executes the TFInferRequests on
a separate thread which is joined before the next execution of
same TFRequestItem/while freeing the model.
The following is the comparison of this mechanism with the existing
sync mechanism on TensorFlow C API 2.5 CPU variant.
Async Mode: 4m32.846s
Sync Mode: 5m17.582s
The above was performed on super resolution filter using SRCNN model.

OpenVINO is a Deep Learning Deployment Toolkit at
https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino, it supports CPU, GPU
and heterogeneous plugins to accelerate deep learning inferencing.
Please refer to https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/blob/master/build-instruction.md
to build openvino (c library is built at the same time). Please add
option -DENABLE_MKL_DNN=ON for cmake to enable CPU path. The header
files and libraries are installed to /usr/local/deployment_tools/inference_engine/
with default options on my system.
To build FFmpeg with openvion, take my system as an example, run with:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/deployment_tools/inference_engine/lib/intel64/:/usr/local/deployment_tools/inference_engine/external/tbb/lib/
$ ../ffmpeg/configure --enable-libopenvino --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/deployment_tools/inference_engine/include/ --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/deployment_tools/inference_engine/lib/intel64
$ make
Here are the features provided by OpenVINO inference engine:
- support more DNN model formats
It supports TensorFlow, Caffe, ONNX, MXNet and Kaldi by converting them
into OpenVINO format with a python script. And torth model
can be first converted into ONNX and then to OpenVINO format.
see the script at https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/tree/master/model-optimizer/mo.py
which also does some optimization at model level.
- optimize at inference stage
It optimizes for X86 CPUs with SSE, AVX etc.
It also optimizes based on OpenCL for Intel GPUs.
(only Intel GPU supported becuase Intel OpenCL extension is used for optimization)

it is expected that there will be more files to support native mode,
so put all the dnn codes under libavfilter/dnn
The main change of this patch is to move the file location, see below:
modified: libavfilter/Makefile
new file: libavfilter/dnn/Makefile
renamed: libavfilter/dnn_backend_native.c -> libavfilter/dnn/dnn_backend_native.c
renamed: libavfilter/dnn_backend_native.h -> libavfilter/dnn/dnn_backend_native.h
renamed: libavfilter/dnn_backend_tf.c -> libavfilter/dnn/dnn_backend_tf.c
renamed: libavfilter/dnn_backend_tf.h -> libavfilter/dnn/dnn_backend_tf.h
renamed: libavfilter/dnn_interface.c -> libavfilter/dnn/dnn_interface.c
