+/*
+    This example shows how to classify an image into one of the 1000 imagenet clategories
+    using the deep learning tools from the dlib C++ Library.  We will use the pretrained
+    ResNet34 model available on the dlib website.
+
+    
+    These tools will use CUDA and cuDNN to drastically accelerate network
+    training and testing.  CMake should automatically find them if they are
+    installed and configure things appropriately.  If not, the program will
+    still run but will be much slower to execute.
