Hi,

When using deepstream-test5, by setting msg-conv-payload-type=1, I can get one message every frame when object is detected in the image. (using kafka)
But when there is no object in the image, no message will be send to kafka server.
I wonder if I can still get some message just like:
{"version":"4.0","id":"919","timestamp":"2022-10-19T13:08:51.419Z","sensorId":"","objects":[]}
Which means, id and timestamp is increasing, and objects is null.
I have tried to edit some parameters in config file, but still can not do this.

Thank you.

You need to modify the test5 source code. Please modify the “bbox_generated_probe_after_analytics” func to fit your need.

Hi @yuweiw ,

Thanks for your information.

I tried to generate a blank msg when frame_meta->obj_meta_list is NULL.

And now I can get message like:

Objects is not NULL, but Unknown is also OK for my next step processing.
