 ## Introduction
 This sample application guides the user and shows how to perform object detection using PyArmNN API. We assume the user has already built PyArmNN by following the instructions of the README in the main PyArmNN directory.

 ## Implementing Your Own Network
 The examples provide support for `ssd_mobilenet_v1` and `yolo_v3_tiny` models. However, the user is able to add their own network to the object detection scripts by following the steps:
 
 1. Create a new file for your network, for example `network.py`, to contain functions to process the output of the model
 2. In that file, the user will need to write a function that decodes the output vectors obtained from running inference on their network and return the bounding box positions of detected objects plus their class index and confidence. Additionally, include a function that returns a resize factor that will scale the obtained bounding boxes to their correct positions in the original frame
 3. Import the functions into the main file and, such as with the provided networks, add a conditional statement to the `get_model_processing()` function with the new model name and functions
-4. The labels associated with the model can then either be included inside the conditional statement or passed in with `--label_path` argument when executing the main script

 ##### Creating Parser and Importing Graph
 The first step with PyArmNN is to import a graph from file by using the appropriate parser.
 
-The Arm NN SDK provides parsers for reading graphs from a variety of model formats. In our application we specifically focus on `.tflite, .pb, .onnx` models. 
+The Arm NN SDK provides parsers for reading graphs from a variety of model formats. In our application we specifically focus on `.tflite, .pb, .onnx` models.
 
 Based on the extension of the provided model file, the corresponding parser is created and the network file loaded with `CreateNetworkFromBinaryFile()` function. The parser will handle the creation of the underlying Arm NN graph.
 
 ##### Optimizing Graph for Compute Device
 Arm NN supports optimized execution on multiple CPU and GPU devices. Prior to executing a graph, we must select the appropriate device context. We do this by creating a runtime context with default options with `IRuntime()`.
 
-We can optimize the imported graph by specifying a list of backends in order of preference and implement backend-specific optimizations. The backends are identified by a string unique to the backend, for example `CpuAcc, GpuAcc, CpuRef`.

 ### Preparing the Workload Tensors
 
 ##### Preprocessing the Captured Frame

+Each frame captured from source is read as an `ndarray` in BGR format and therefore has to be preprocessed before being passed into the network.
 
 This preprocessing step consists of swapping channels (BGR to RGB in this example), resizing the frame to the required resolution, expanding dimensions of the array and doing data type conversion to match the model input layer. This information about the input tensor can be readily obtained from reading the `input_binding_info`. For example, SSD MobileNet V1 takes for input a tensor with shape `[1, 300, 300, 3]` and data type `uint8`.

 ### Postprocessing
 
 ##### Decoding and Processing Inference Output
-The output from inference must be decoded to obtain information about detected objects in the frame. In the examples there are implementations for two networks but you may also implement your own network decoding solution here. Please refer to <i>Implementing Your Own Network</i> section of this document to learn how to do this.

 For SSD MobileNet V1 models, we decode the results to obtain the bounding box positions, classification index, confidence and number of detections in the input frame.
