How to display letters on 12_camera_v4l2_cuda

[TJCUT]

Hello,

“12_camera_v4l2_cuda” is being used to check the camera image.
I want to display text on the camera image.

Any reference?

Hi,
Please try the functions in

/usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api/include/nvosd.h

You can call nvosd_put_text() to display text string.

Thank you for answer.
I used nvosd_put_text(), but the letter is not visible.
Attach the source used for testing.
camera_v4l2_cuda.cpp (26.7 KB)
camera_v4l2_cuda.h (3.6 KB)

I tried to express it in function start_capture(context_t * ctx).

            set_text(ctx);
            printf ("display_text %s\n", ctx->textParams.display_text);
            nvosd_put_text(ctx->nvosd_context,
                                MODE_CPU,
                                ctx->render_dmabuf_fd,
                                1,
                                &ctx->textParams);

            /* Preview */
            ctx->renderer->render(ctx->render_dmabuf_fd);

Wrong use?

Hi,
There is sample code in

/usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api/samples/02_video_dec_cuda

Please take a look.

Hello

I confirmed 02_video_dec_cuda.
When displaying Text in the following sources, ABGR format is required.

        if (ctx->enable_osd_text)
        {
            cout<<" Text overlay can only work with ABGR format, set converter capture plane to ABGR" <<endl;
            ret = ctx->conv->setCapturePlaneFormat(V4L2_PIX_FMT_ABGR32,
                                                    crop.c.width,
                                                    crop.c.height,
                                                    V4L2_NV_BUFFER_LAYOUT_PITCH);
        }

In 12_camera_v4l2_cuda it’s only YUV422 or YUV420.
Can this be applied here?

In 12_camera_v4l2_cuda, preview render is done by polling method.
02_video_dec_cuda uses NvVideoConverter to display text in conv0_capture_dqbuf_thread_callback function.

Can I refer to the source of applying NvVideoConverter to 12_camera_v4l2_cuda?

Hi,
You don’t need to use NvVideoConverter. Please call NvBufferTransform() to get RGBA NvBuffer and then call nvosd_create_context(), nvosd_put_text(), nvosd_destroy_context()

Hi,

I checked with the following code, but no characters were displayed.

            /*  Convert the camera buffer from YUV422 to YUV420P */
            if (-1 == NvBufferTransform(ctx->g_buff[v4l2_buf.index].dmabuff_fd, ctx->render_dmabuf_fd,
                        &transParams))
                ERROR_RETURN("Failed to convert the buffer");

            {
                ctx->nvosd_context = nvosd_create_context();
                set_text(ctx);
                nvosd_put_text(ctx->nvosd_context,
                                    MODE_CPU,
                                    ctx->render_dmabuf_fd,
                                    1,
                                    &ctx->textParams);
                nvosd_destroy_context(ctx->nvosd_context);
                ctx->nvosd_context = NULL;
            }

How to get RGBA NvBuffer?
Is there any problem in displaying the screen with RGBA NvBuffer?

[DaneLLL]

Hi,
ctx->render_dmabuf_fd is NvBufferColorFormat_YUV420 in default code. Please change it to NvBufferColorFormat_ABGR32
