lazy loading of images

[tfriedel]

use LazyLoadDict and shelve for detections to reduce memory consumption
supposed to go with roboflow/supervision#353

[tfriedel]

this may require other changes, like the dependencies would need to be updated to get the new supervision lib

@tfriedel Can you add the requisite dependency change to the requirements.txt when this feature is available in supervision? Aside from that, this looks good to me.

[tfriedel]

@capjamesg sure, just ping me here when this happens

[capjamesg]

@tfriedel Is the lazy loading API likely to be in the next release?

[tfriedel]

@capjamesg no idea, I'm just an external contributor. If I get notified that the other PR is merged we can continue here.

[AChangXD]

@capjamesg Running into this issue as well, any idea on when this can be merged?

How is the situation

[capjamesg]

@tfriedel Now that supervision supports the lazy loading functionality, are we ready to continue with this PR?

[tfriedel]

@capjamesg sorry, this is too long ago now. I'm not using the library and have no interest in continuing to work on it at this time. But feel free to continue the work and make a new PR for example.

Hi @KTXKIKI, @capjamesg and @tfriedel 👋🏻
Work on datasets has had a lower priority in Supervision for some time, but it seems we can increase this priority in the coming weeks. The PR created by @tfriedel will definitely be a starting point for our work.
