# Enrichments
Some of Frigate's enrichments can use a discrete GPU / NPU for accelerated processing.
## Requirements
Object detection and enrichments (like Semantic Search, Face Recognition, and License Plate Recognition) are independent features. To use a GPU / NPU for object detection, see the [Object Detectors](/configuration/object_detectors.md) documentation. If you want to use your GPU for any supported enrichments, you must choose the appropriate Frigate Docker image for your GPU / NPU and configure the enrichment according to its specific documentation.
- **AMD**
- ROCm will automatically be detected and used for enrichments in the `-rocm` Frigate image.
- **Intel**
- OpenVINO will automatically be detected and used for enrichments in the default Frigate image.
- **Nvidia**
- Nvidia GPUs will automatically be detected and used for enrichments in the `-tensorrt` Frigate image.
- Jetson devices will automatically be detected and used for enrichments in the `-tensorrt-jp6` Frigate image.
- **RockChip**
- RockChip NPU will automatically be detected and used for semantic search v1 and face recognition in the `-rk` Frigate image.
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.
:::note
A Google Coral is a TPU (Tensor Processing Unit), not a dedicated GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and therefore does not provide any kind of acceleration for Frigate's enrichments.
