How do I connect to the camera in the deepstream-dewarper-app?

Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

**• Hardware Platform Jetson
**• DeepStream Version 5.1

**• TensorRT Version 7.1.3
**• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version

The examples on GitHub - NVIDIA-AI-IOT/Deepstream-Dewarper-App: This project demonstrate how to infer and track from a 360 videos by using the dewarper plugin. provide a description of the command line to work with:
./deepstream-dewarper-app [1:file sink|2: fakesink|3:display sink] [1:without tracking| 2: with tracking] [ <camera_id1> <config_file1>] [ <camera_id2> <config_file2>] … [ <camera_idN> <config_fileN>]
But it’s not clear what to write in <camera_idN>. Tried to specify /dev/video0, but it doesn’t work. Is it even possible to connect to the camera via deepstream-dewarper-app and get the video file with distortion corrected?

According to the code Deepstream-Dewarper-App/deepstream_dewarper_test.c at main · NVIDIA-AI-IOT/Deepstream-Dewarper-App (github.com), the command line should be :

./deepstream-dewarper-app [1:file sink|2: fakesink|3:display sink] [1:no tracking| 2:tracking] <uri1> <source id1> [<uri2> <source id2>] ... [<uriN> <source idN>]

E.G. For your two usb cameras

I run:

sudo ./deepstream-dewarper-app  2 1 v4l2://dev/video0 0 camera_config_dewarper.txt

with config:

A little typo, it is “v4l2:///dev/video0” instead of “v4l2://dev/video0”.

Yes, I noticed this error and fixed it, but the program did not work properly again:
$ sudo ./deepstream-dewarper-app 2 1 v4l2:///dev/video0 0 camera_config_dewarper.txt
I get this output:

As I understand it, the problem is that NvMOT_RemoveStreams is not implemented in /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.1/lib/libnvds_mot_klt.so. If I’m right, how do I fix it?

No. Even if the NvMOT_RemoveStreams is not implemented, nvstracker will use default functions inside the library. The failure is not caused by nvtracker.

The problem may related to your camera. It is recommended to use gst-launch to figure out the correct camera pipeline and then change the deepstream sample app according to the correct pipeline.
