Utilizing a GPU for enrichments does not require you to use the same GPU for object detection. For example, you can run the `tensorrt` Docker image for enrichments and still use other dedicated hardware like a Coral or Hailo for object detection. However, one combination that is not supported is TensorRT for object detection and OpenVINO for enrichments.
