Nvimageenc

Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU)
GPU
• DeepStream Version
6.4
• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only)
• TensorRT Version
8.6.1.6
• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version (valid for GPU only)
535.171.04
• Issue Type( questions, new requirements, bugs)
Gst-nvimageenc
Its there any example or details documentation about this feature?
How do I apply it to save the bounding box of the object as a picture?
• How to reproduce the issue ? (This is for bugs. Including which sample app is using, the configuration files content, the command line used and other details for reproducing)
• Requirement details( This is for new requirement. Including the module name-for which plugin or for which sample application, the function description)

This is a plugin which can only encode the images from upstream elements in the pipeline.

You can use “gst-inspect-1.0 nvimageenc” to get more information about this plugin.

For save bbox objects as pictures, please refer to the sample /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/sources/apps/sample_app/deepstream-image-meta-test

Apply the following patch to deepstream_test_1.py,then run python3 deepsteam_test_1.py /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/samples/streams/sample_720p.h264

This patch implements the following functions.

nvosd --> nvvideoconvert --> "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=RGB" (for nvimagenc caps) --> nvimagenc --> fakesink.

Add sink probe at fakesink element, save the gst_buffer to jpeg.
