pyds.NvOSD_RectParams.width=0?

Question:

Why pyds.NvOSD_RectParams.width=0?

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU)
Jetson
• DeepStream Version
5.0
• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only)
4.4
• TensorRT Version
7.1.3-1+cuda10.2
• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version (valid for GPU only)
Jetson Nano platform
• Issue Type( questions, new requirements, bugs)
DeepStream meta value data error
• 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)
in next items
• Requirement details( This is for new requirement. Including the module name-for which plugin or for which sample application, the function description)

  • which module: DeepStream Python apps
  • which samples: deepstream-imagedata-multistream samples
  • which file: deepstream-imagedata-multistream.py
  • which config file: config_infer_primary_yoloV3_tiny.txt
  • model file: yolov3-tiny.cfg → model_b1_gpu0_fp32.engine

I try to run deepstream-imagedata-multistream.py in DeepStream Python apps.
It works very well.
I try to get the meta data that indicates the detections in the image, I use pyds.NvOSD_RectParams to get the (top, left, width, height),pyds.
NvOSD_RectParams.top and pyds.NvOSD_RectParams.left will give me a correct value, but pyds.NvOSD_RectParams.width and pyds.NvOSD_RectParams.height will always be zero.

Is it a bug in deepstream?

How to fixed this?

You can Reappear the scene by replace the deepstream-imagedata-multistream.py with the code below.
I only added two lines of code to get the metadata.

Code I added:

rect_params=obj_meta.rect_params
print(int(rect_params.top), int(rect_params.left), int(rect_params.width), int(rect_params.height))
#!/usr/bin/env python3

Hey,
Have you tried to print the params in test1 and see if it can work deepstream_python_apps/deepstream_test_1.py at master · NVIDIA-AI-IOT/deepstream_python_apps · GitHub

Hello,
I found an interesting thing.
It works ( we have correct pyds.NvOSD_RectParams.width’s value) when I use resnet caffemodel, but when I use YOLO v3 model, pyds.NvOSD_RectParams.width will always be 0.
So, something must be wrong in libnvdsinfer_custom_impl_yolo.so(so file compiled in /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.0/sources/objectDetector_Yolo/nvdsinfer_custom_impl_Yolo).
The meta data is very import for my projects.
So, can you do me a favour and test the deepstream usb python apps with YOLO model?

Is this a bug or caused by my error operations?

For yolo model, you need to customize your post-process parser, you can refer deepstream_python_apps/apps/deepstream-ssd-parser at master · NVIDIA-AI-IOT/deepstream_python_apps · GitHub if you are using python.

same question, how to solve?
