Hi,
What I try to do is to decode an h264 video and process the decoded frames with CUDA. Actually I do not even need to visualize the decoded frames.
I can do this using the typical appsink pipeline but the transfers from omxh264dec memory to main memory are very expensive. I want to avoid this, ideally I would like to get the frame from an EGLImage and use the opengl<->cuda interoperability mechanisms. I have had no luck with this.
I see there is a plugin called nvgleglessink which do a very good job, I’m able to visualize 6 fullhd videos without a lot of CPU charge, because the plugin do not incur in the memory transfers overhead.
I would like to get something similar to the nvgleglessink but only for postprocessing the frames, I will try to use the “last-frame” element from this plugin to do my cuda processing but it would be odd, even if it works.
I have seen also there is a gst-cuda plugin but I think its only for TX1.
Please any advice will help me a lot, I have google’ed a lot and can not find anything useful in this scenario.
Thanks,
Javier
