Enabling project work on Non-cuda devices

[Tharun-PS]

In the readme file, under "We welcome Open Source Contribution", Enabling working of project on Non Cuda Computers. i.e on normal or AMD GPUs is considered not possible as dlib uses CUDA internally. I have modified the code in such a way that the project works very fine on Normal computer's CPU without requiring GPU. Wishing to contribute to the requirements stated in readme file. I'm using Lenovo Ideapad S340 with intel i5 processor.

Thanks, Changes look good, but if you can refactor a bit to provide options for selecting CPU or GPU. Also please don't commit any binary files

[Tharun-PS]

Okay sure. I'll add that and update

I have made some changes. First it will check if cuda is availble or not. If cuda is available --> device = 'cuda' else --> device = 'cpu' and this device variable will used in code that generalizes the usage for all users.

Changes looks good .. but you can try deleting unwanted files like py-cache and all

And yes. I have deleted that directory. Sorry for the delay

Sorry for the delay, was a bit busy. I can still see some pycache files
