Hi All,
After successfully adding the tracker element to the pipeline in the ‘deepstream_imagedata_multistream’ application, I started the application using my IP camera as the rtsp source. The application ran smoothly for about half an hour before I started to notice a small delay (2 or 3 seconds) in the time showing on the deepstream python3 output stream and the actual clock time. The lag increased to 30 seconds after an hour and showed no signs of stabilizing. I need to add more features to this application but they would be useless unless this lag is sorted out. I am using Jetson Nano and Deepstream SDK 5 to run the application. Is there anything that can be done (software-wise) to resolve this lag issue, or is the Jetson simply not powerful enough for this application? Here is my code for the application. I haven’t changed anything in the original ‘deepstream_imagedata_multistream’ script except add the tracker component in the pipeline after ‘pgie’ (and set its properties from the ‘dstest2_tracker_config.txt’ tracker configuration file). Thanks in advance.
