The .mp4 output file created by the app skips a lot of frames. This results in a video that looks like a slideshow. I followed the instructions in this blog. The trt_pose repo says that Nano should be able to run the model at 12-22 FPS.
Am I missing some steps that’s important for speeding up the inference?
I’ve been using the onnx file given in the repo (pose_estimation.onnx) because using my own converted weight would cause the app to get stuck on generating the engine file:

An error I got that may be related to this is:

This happens every time I try to install something via apt.
For reference, I can run deepstream-app samples just fine.

Hi,
Info from NvDsInferContextImpl::buildModel() <nvdsinfer_context_impl.cpp:1715> [UID = 1]: Trying to create engine from model files
This function takes times (in minutes) since it converts the ONNX model into a TensorRT engine.
Do you get the generated engine file in the end?
In case you don’t know, please remember to maximize the Nano with following command first:
$ sudo nvpmodel -m 0
$ sudo jetson_clocks
Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestions. The engine file got generated after a few minutes if I use the pose_estimation.onnx weight in the repo.
I also enabled 10W mode and jetson_clocks, and verified them using jtop. I don’t see any difference in inference performance with or without enabling jetson_clocks.
Hi,
Could you try the ONNX model with trtexec and share the performance with us?
/usr/src/tensorrt/bin/trtexec --onnx=[model]
Thanks.
Below is the output of trtexec:

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

Hi,
Based on the TensorRT profiling data (77ms), the model should be able to reach 12 fps.
May I know the exact performance do you get with deepstream?
Thanks.
