Argus epoch timestamp from CSI camera

We try to acquire epoch timestamp from my CSI camera on TX2 using Argus API.

We already succeeded to get a relative timestamp by using two different methods:

  • getTime method from EGLStream::IFrame
  • getSensorTimestamp method from EGLStream::IArgusCaptureMetadata

    • Both seems to be relative to camera deamon start time.

    Is there any way to acquire epoch timestamp directly from frame at reception ?
    Or can you tell us the relation between relative sensor time and epoch time.

    Here is the code sample:

    EGLStream::IArgusCaptureMetadata* iArgusCaptureMetadata = Argus::interface_cast<EGLStream::IArgusCaptureMetadata>(m_MetadataContainer);

            if(iArgusCaptureMetadata)
            {
                EGLStream::IFrame *iFrame = Argus::interface_cast<EGLStream::IFrame>(m_Frame);

                if (iFrame)
                {
                    EGLStream::Image *eglImage = iFrame->getImage();
                    EGLStream::IImage *iImage = Argus::interface_cast<EGLStream::IImage>(eglImage);

                    Argus::CaptureMetadata* argusCaptureMetadata = iArgusCaptureMetadata->getMetadata();
                    Argus::ICaptureMetadata* iCaptureMetadata = Argus::interface_cast<Argus::ICaptureMetadata>(argusCaptureMetadata);
                    
                    timestamp1 = iFrame->getTime();

                    // OR

                    timestamp2 = iCaptureMetadata->getSensorTimestamp();
                
                    [...]
