Nvvideoconvert buffer transform failed on jetson

[bogoslovskii]

When processing png images, nvvideoconvert crashes with the error “buffer transform failed”. If you set compute-hw=1 as recommended in this topic, we get images with artifacts.

**• Hardware Platform: ** Jetson
• DeepStream Version: 6.2
**• JetPack Version: **R35 REVISION: 1.0
**• TensorRT Version: ** 8.4.1.5-1+cuda11.4
**• Issue Type: ** bugs
• 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)

Download images
png_images.zip (1.9 MB)

Run docker
docker run -it --rm -v pwd:/data nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream-l4t:6.2-triton

In docker
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/data/foto.png ! pngparse ! pngdec ! queue ! nvvideoconvert ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=RGBA" ! nvvideoconvert ! pngenc ! filesink location=/data/foto_res.png

After this command nvvideoconvert crashes with the error:

0:00:00.174602041    92 0xaaaae17e3aa0 ERROR         nvvideoconvert gstnvvideoconvert.c:3768:gst_nvvideoconvert_transform: buffer transform failed
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstQueue:queue0: Internal data stream error.

If we add compute-hw=1
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/data/foto.png ! pngparse ! pngdec ! queue ! nvvideoconvert compute-hw=1 ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=RGBA" ! nvvideoconvert ! pngenc ! filesink location=/data/foto_res.png

After this command there is no error after this command, but images with artifacts

1. The format of your image is RGB that the default mode of Jetson does not support. So you need to set the compute-hw=1.
2. What do you mean images with artifacts?

[bogoslovskii]

1. How did you determine that the image was GRB? The identify -verbose foto.png command identifies as png with Colorspace sRGB

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

I have tried on my Orin, it works well like below with the command you attached.

What’s the specific model of your platform? And some of your software versions may have compatibility issues with DeepStream 6.2. You can refer to the link below: Jetson model Platform and OS Compatibility.
