Does anybody know how to do the above? I’ve seen a basic i2c tutorial on jetson hacks, but how do I access bounding box data to send? Thanks!
No really understand the problem.
ok …. I’ve got the Jetson producing bounding boxes around objects using the onboard camera by following the tutorial here: https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-inference.
I’ve also found a basic I2C tutorial here which can send data via I2C to a LED display: https://www.jetsonhacks.com/2018/07/25/i2c-nvidia-jetson-tx2-development-kit/
Now I need to send the coordinates of the bounding boxes detected to the outside world (eg an LED display) so I can eventually steer my WEEDINATOR https://hackaday.io/project/53896-weedinator-2018 machine along beds of vegetables.
No replies! ???
I run this in terminal:
sudo ~/jetson_clocks.sh && cd jetson-inference/build/aarch64/bin && ./detectnet-camera coco-dog
Then get this printed in terminal:
0 bounding boxes detected
0 bounding boxes detected
0 bounding boxes detected
0 bounding boxes detected
1 bounding boxes detected
bounding box 0 (428.906250, 438.679688) (500.812500, 510.679688) w=71.906250 h=72.000000
draw boxes 1 0 0.000000 200.000000 255.000000 100.000000
0 bounding boxes detected
0 bounding boxes detected
…. And I want to access the data eg. 428.906250 and w=71.906250
What file prints this data? What’s it called and where does it live? What’s the name of the variables used?
Thanks !!!
I found out yesterday from Jim at Jetsonhacks that the detectnet-camera.cpp file provides the boundary box information. Thank you Jim!
Now I need to alter that file to include an I2C file and re-make it with it’s dependancies in such a way that I don’t completely destroy my system. Baring in mind that I don’t really know what I am doing, can anybody help at all?
Thanks!
Hi,
You can check Jetson_inference code for more details.
The object detection pipeling works like this:
Camera -> Pre-process -> TensorRT(DL inference) -> Post-process
In post-process, we interpret network output by checking the coverage and bbox blob.
You can find here for the DetectNet model design.
So please try to output the boundingBoxes array and feed it into the place you want.
https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-inference/blob/master/detectNet.cpp#L414
Thanks.
Thanks for reply … Seems like I can use either detectNet.cpp or detectnet-camera.cpp to achieve bounding box coordinate export to I2C.
It also seems like there is a module called ‘jetson-inference’ which has it’s own make files.
To keep it simple, say I wanted to change to change this line:
‘printf("%i bounding boxes detected\n", numBoundingBoxes);’
to:
‘printf("%i bouncing boxes detected\n", numBoundingBoxes);’
How do I re-make jetson-inference ??? for this to take effect.
Is this it here:
cd jetson-inference/build make
???
I’m not a Linux expert - I’m sure it’s really simple for the person who does know how to do it !!!
I tried it anyway … What harm can it do? … And now I have bouncing boxes! YAY !
Next step is to try and get the ‘displayExample.cpp’ from Jim at Jetsonhacks file working within the ‘jetson-inference’ module.
I2C Files are here: https://github.com/paddygoat/JHLEDBackpack
jetson-inference files here: https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-inference
I’m guessing that I should paste the relevant files into a suitable directory within jetson-inference and edit one of the make files to get it to compile?
Maybe within these lines of code within jetson-inference/detectnet-camera/CMakeLists.txt:
file(GLOB detectnetCameraSources *.cpp)
file(GLOB detectnetCameraIncludes *.h )
cuda_add_executable(detectnet-camera ${detectnetCameraSources})
target_link_libraries(detectnet-camera nvcaffe_parser nvinfer jetson-inference)
Anybody got any ideas at all? … Thanks!
I’m struggling to understand the makefile structure in jetson-inference. How do I incorporate the JHLEDBackpack files into jetson-inference such that it ‘makes’ and ultimately displays bounding box info ???
NB. I know the screen is too small but it doesn’t matter.
Hi,
Check CMakeLists.txt located at the detectnet-camera folder:
file(GLOB detectnetCameraSources *.cpp)
file(GLOB detectnetCameraIncludes *.h )
It by default compiles all the .cpp file inside the folder.
You will need to include the jasonhacks function into the detectnet-camera.cpp.
Add your handling code and recompile it with make.
Thanks.
Thanks - that makes sense now.
Just need to test it - waiting for 5v - 3.3v logic level shifter to arrive.
It’s working !!!
… But not writing to I2c.
The code compiles ok, but I’m not sure if the .cpp file is in the right place, see below:

I’ve tried putting it in various different folders but this is the only way i got it to compile so far, I’ve got the SDA and SCL hooked up to oscilloscope and … nothing !!!
I’ve whittled the problem down to this:
#include <unistd.h> //Needed for I2C port
#include <fcntl.h> //Needed for I2C port
#include <sys/ioctl.h> //Needed for I2C port
#include <linux/i2c-dev.h> //Needed for I2C port
int file_i2c;
int length;
unsigned char buffer[60] = {0};
//----- OPEN THE I2C BUS -----
char *filename = (char*)"/dev/i2c-1";
if ((file_i2c = open(filename, O_RDWR)) < 0)
{
//ERROR HANDLING: you can check errno to see what went wrong
printf("Failed to open the i2c bus");
return;
}
It compiles ok and “/dev/i2c-1” is correct, but … I can’t open the i2c bus.
Documentation ( i2c / dev-interface https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux/+/linux-2.5.54/Documentation/i2c/dev-interface) says:
IMPORTANT: because of the use of inline functions, you have to use
‘-O’ or some variation when you compile your program!
The above code works when it’s compiled on it’s own with -O but not when compiled with detectnet-camera.cpp.
What does ‘-O’ mean and how do i get the above code working within detectnet-camera.cpp ???
Thanks !
Have you checked the actual error number that is being generated? Are you running your program with sudo? For using I2C, you will need to run the program with ‘sudo’ to access I2C unless you have set up some UDEV rules.
Thanks for reply, Jim. It’s error = 9, but I don’t know what this means! I’ll check if I’m using sudo or not know …
Sudo works ! Thanks Jim ! Now to try and write the bounding box details over I2C …… Should be fun !
