Hello all knowing Nvidia community!
I have a TX2 with a camera attached to it.
The camera is a PCIe camera and is not easy to use but the manufacturer has provided me with an example code. It displays a live video feed in a window on the TX2 desktop.
The problem is i want the TX2 to stream the video to another computer! So that i could watch the live stream with VLC.
How do i create a rtsp stream from within cv2 ?
here is the code that creates a video:
from ximea import xiapi
import cv2
import timecreate instance for first connected camera
cam = xiapi.Camera()#start communication
print(‘Opening first camera…’)
cam.open_device()#settings
cam.set_exposure(20000)create instance of Image to store image data and metadata
img = xiapi.Image()#start data acquisition
print(‘Starting data acquisition…’)
cam.start_acquisition()try:
print(‘Starting video. Press CTRL+C to exit.’)
t0 = time.time()
while True:
#get data and pass them from camera to img
cam.get_image(img)#create numpy array with data from camera. Dimensions of the array are #determined by imgdataformat data = img.get_image_data_numpy() #show acquired image with time since the beginning of acquisition font = cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX text = '{:5.2f}'.format(time.time()-t0) cv2.putText( data, text, (900,150), font, 4, (255, 255, 255), 2 ) cv2.imshow('XiCAM example', data) cv2.waitKey(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
cv2.destroyAllWindows()#stop data acquisition
print(‘Stopping acquisition…’)
cam.stop_acquisition()#stop communication
cam.close_device()print(‘Done.’)
