Describe the problem

Hi,
my problem is that when using pretrained coco model from the tutorial delivered with object detection API, the detection on exemplary pictures takes too much time. I checked the GPU usage and it does not move at all, instead CPU is used. My tensorflow-GPU installation should be OK, since I use it with different scripts and it works well. I tried installing it on Ubuntu 16.04 and it was the same. I tried different CUDA Toolkit, CUDNN versions and TF versions (mentioned in the System Information section) and still nothing (CuDNN 7.05 didn't work due to another error problem, fixed by using newer versions). My project however requires faster detection time.
