IMX519 Orin Nano Dev Kit Pipeline in OpenCV

I am running 35.3.1 on Orin Nano Dev Kit and trying to run Arducam IMX519 via MIPI interface. I get camera input via

FRAMERATE = 9
gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=4656,height=3496,framerate=$FRAMERATE/1" ! nvvidconv ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=4656,height=3496,framerate=$FRAMERATE/1" ! nv3dsink

To run the pipeline in a python script, I replace sink with appsink and add queue but it doesn’t work. On terminal, the following command

gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=4656,height=3496,framerate=$FRAMERATE/1" ! nvvidconv ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=4656,height=3496,framerate=$FRAMERATE/1"! queue ! appsink

gives this and hangs ( I am assuming it’s supposed to do that)

My python code is as follows:

self.cap = cv2.VideoCapture("nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! "
        "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=4656,height=3496,framerate=9/1 !"  
        "nvvidconv ! video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=4656,height=3496,framerate=9/1 !"
        "queue ! appsink", cv2.CAP_GSTREAMER)

The error I get is

RuntimeError: Failed to open camera!

What things can I try and how to debug the issue? Is this still a camera driver issue or maybe the OpenCV, pipeline configuration problem? Thank you in advance.

If the nv3dsink working well that could be the OpenCv problem.
Maybe try another sample.

GitHub - JetsonHacksNano/CSI-Camera: Simple example of using a CSI-Camera (like the Raspberry Pi Version 2 camera) with the NVIDIA Jetson Developer Kit

Hi @ShaneCCC , I tried this example and it doesn’t work in openCV.
Error: Unable to open camera

If I take this example, change the sink to nv3dsink, it successfully runs, opens a window and shows camera output (same width, height and other parameters as in the example code).

Is there a way to debug this problem?

Reference for below solution.

Thanks so much, this worked like a charm!
