Hi all,
I want to know about gsteamer for decoding the streaming. Please correct my mistake if there.
Suppose we want to use gsteamer + opencv in python of decoding the rtsp stream like this:
gstream_elemets = (
‘rtspsrc location=rtsp latency=300 !’
‘rtph264depay ! h264parse !’
‘queue max-size-buffers=100, leaky=2 !’
‘omxh264dec enable-max-performance=1 enable-low-outbuffer=1 !’
‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=(string)NV12 !’
‘nvvidconv ! video/x-raw , width=450, height=450, format=(string)BGRx !’
‘videorate ! video/x-raw, framerate=(fraction)10/1 !’
'videoconvert ! ’
‘appsink’).
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(gstream_elemets, cv2.CAP_GSTREAMER)
1- The structural of the elements like this ?
source > decoder > transforms > sink
between these elements, there is a queue for each elements?
the source put the data into decoder or put into it’s queue?
what’s difference between source > queue > decoder … and source > decoder > … ?
2- If the input frame rate = 25 and I want to capture only every 5th frame of input frames, What do I do?
one solution is that to manage with time.sleep(1/5) function, like this :
while True:
ret, frame = cap.read()
time.sleep(1/5)
This solution has two problem, one is because the input frame rate is high than output frame rate, this cause gradually increased the memory problem and system after a while the crash.
two is we decode all of input frames of stream but I want to decode only every 5th frames of input source. How I can drops some of input frames?
How to solve the problem, specially problem of gradually increased the memory?
using videorate in gsteamer, this cause very increase in the cpu usage.
3- Because the appsink only support cpu buffer, and the decoder frames are in the NVVM buffer, using of gsteamer + opencv then use the memory usage twice?
