I have a deepstream pipeline with ensemble model with a Python Backend and one Onnx model.

I have 2 issues
config_infer_plan_fastervoxelpose_ensemble.txt (1.1 KB)
source1_fastervoxelpose.txt (3.1 KB)
here -

  1. I am getting all 0s in the numpy array in execute input tensor
  2. Even I disabled the source from the pipeline, InferenceRequest is being called still.

These are deepstream-app configurations.

This looks like a python triton app.

What is the relationship of these two parts?
