I have a pipeline that is generating a binary video: black background with small white blobs moving around. I would like to track those blobs, and I am looking for guidance in implementing this capability.
-
Is there a known way to do this in DeepStream?
-
In the nv-infer plugin, there is a
cluster-mode
configuration parameter for which one of the options is DBSCAN. Could this be used to perform clustering on the binary video frame and generate a bounding box? Or is it intended to cluster overlapping bounding boxes? -
In my pipeline, I have a custom plugin that uses an OpenCV GpuMat to generate the binary video frame. If there isn’t a way to generate bounding boxes using existing plugins, then I’m planning to download the binary video frame to the CPU, run a blob detector, attach the bounding boxes to the output metadata, and connect the nvtracker to the pipeline. Does this approach make sense or is there a better way? This is similar to the gst-dsexample plugin.

I would like to save the tracks to file instead of putting them on the OSD. Is there a known way to do this, or do I have to write a custom plugin to write them to file?
I am running DeepStream 5.0.1 on a GPU (T4 & V100).
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you can offer!
