+## How to improve object detection:
+
+1. Before training:
+  * set flag `random=1` in your `.cfg`-file - it will increase precision by training Yolo for different resolutions: [link](https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/47409529d0eb935fa7bafbe2b3484431117269f5/cfg/yolo-voc.cfg#L244)
+
+2. After training - for detection:
+
+  * Increase network-resolution by set in your `.cfg`-file (`height=608` and `width=608`) or (`height=832` and `width=832`) or (any value multiple of 32) - this increases the precision and makes it possible to detect small objects: [link](https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/47409529d0eb935fa7bafbe2b3484431117269f5/cfg/yolo-voc.cfg#L4)
+  
+    * you do not need to train the network again, just use `.weights`-file already trained for 416x416 resolution
+    * if error `Out of memory` occurs then in `.cfg`-file you should increase `subdivisions=16`, 32 or 64: [link](https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/47409529d0eb935fa7bafbe2b3484431117269f5/cfg/yolo-voc.cfg#L3)

 ## How to mark bounded boxes of objects and create annotation files:
 
 Here you can find repository with GUI-software for marking bounded boxes of objects and generating annotation files for Yolo v2: https://github.com/AlexeyAB/Yolo_mark
 
 With example of: `train.txt`, `obj.names`, `obj.data`, `yolo-obj.cfg`, `air`1-6`.txt`, `bird`1-4`.txt` for 2 classes of objects (air, bird) and `train_obj.cmd` with example how to train this image-set with Yolo v2
+
+## How to use Yolo as DLL
+
+1. To compile Yolo as C++ DLL-file `yolo_cpp_dll.dll` - open in MSVS2015 file `build\darknet\yolo_cpp_dll.sln`, set **x64** and **Release**, and do the: Build -> Build yolo_cpp_dll
+    * You should have installed **CUDA 8.0**
+    * To use cuDNN do: (right click on project) -> properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions, and add at the beginning of line: `CUDNN;`
+
+2. To use Yolo as DLL-file in your C++ console application - open in MSVS2015 file `build\darknet\yolo_console_dll.sln`, set **x64** and **Release**, and do the: Build -> Build yolo_console_dll
+
+    * you can run your console application from Windows Explorer `build\darknet\x64\yolo_console_dll.exe`
+    * or you can run from MSVS2015 (before this - you should copy 2 files `yolo-voc.cfg` and `yolo-voc.weights` to the directory `build\darknet\` )
+    * after launching your console application and entering the image file name - you will see info for each object: 
+    `<obj_id> <left_x> <top_y> <width> <height> <probability>`
+    * to use simple OpenCV-GUI you should uncomment line `//#define OPENCV` in `yolo_console_dll.cpp`-file: [link](https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/a6cbaeecde40f91ddc3ea09aa26a03ab5bbf8ba8/src/yolo_console_dll.cpp#L5)
