I am working on dynamically changing the inference interval of nvinfer using Python and have encountered some challenges.
I referred to the latest documentation on how to send custom events from Python to downstream elements (link). I’m trying to apply this to the function gst_nvevent_infer_interval_update located at /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-7.0/sources/libs/gstnvdscustomhelper/gst-nvdscustomevent.c.
I successfully obtained the Python bindings on my x86 machine and followed an implementation similar to what was suggested in this forum post (link), implementing it identically in bindfunctions.cpp.
However, I am unsure how to use this bound function in Python. When calling the function, the size_t gst_element in C++ corresponds to an int in Python, but I can only obtain the Python object corresponding to pgie.
What should I pass in Python? Does this int value correspond to the address of pgie in C++? The function in the documentation example seems to have the same issue. Is there an official implementation or recommended usage? I need a Python usage example, not just a binding example.
pyds-1.1.11-py3-none-linux_x86_64.zip (602.6 KB)
Can an implementation be made based on deepstream-test1?
