Inaccurate SGIE classification

Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

**• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU) Jetson Orin Nano
**• DeepStream Version: Deepstream 6.3
**• TensorRT Version: 8.5.2.1

Good day, I have been struggling with deploying my custom classification model (yolov8-cls) on Deepsteam.
When I run the pipeline, the SGIE was built successfully, and the program is able to run. I can see that the SGIE has in influence, because I can see that there is a label that is added to the text of the bounding boxes. Please see the image below that demonstrates this:


I also added a few print statements in the shared library that displays the attribute that has the highest confidence (Attributes are either Male of Female) and its confidence. I saw that every single classification has a confidence of 1 and every classification is a male…I am not sure what the issue is because I used a different script to test the onnx model and it works perfectly. Below is a description of all relevant information (how the model has been trained, the configuration file for the SGIE, the C++ script that creates the shared library and also the onnx model itself.)

Here is how I have trained and exported the onnx model:

train_onnx.zip (861 Bytes)

I’ve created the configuration files for the SGIE. The configuration files can be found below:

sgie_config_YOLO_GENDER_CLASSIFICATION.txt (791 Bytes)

Here is the C++ file that was used to create the shared library:
nvdsinfer_customparser.zip (31.7 KB)
[please note: I adjusted the Makefile so that the “SRCFILES” only contains the “nvdsinfer_customclassifierparser.cpp” file. I also adjusted the labels in the “nvdsinfer_customclassifierparser.cpp” file so that the labels are “male” and “female”. I also added two print statements that prints the confidence score of both the classes.]

And finally, here is the onnx file that I trained:
genderClassification.zip (

I suggest testing the sgie model directly. please refer to this FAQ. please use the same input picture when compare script and DeepStream.

Hello, sorry for taking so long to reply. When I tried this I got this error:

The only changes that I have made to the config file (dstest_appsrc_config.txt) is to change the path to the model_engine_file (model-engine-file=/home/aizatron/repos/RnD-video-tracking/models/Onnx/genderClassification.onnx_b16_gpu0_fp32.engine) and I changed the number of detected classes to 2 (num-detected-classes=2)

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore. Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks

please update the content of sgie_config_YOLO_GENDER_CLASSIFICATION.txt to dstest_appsrc_config.txt mentioned in the FAQ .
