Realsense - python - opencv - cuda gpu jetson nano -- how?

hi

i have a rasp pi 4 running a realsense/OPENCV script with a python wrapper.
it runs ok but i could do with a faster refresh rate
the boards that have been suggested to me so far (ghh51 etc) are all out of stock due to global shortage.

ive tried jetson nano but i dont know how to leverage the cuda gpu support - so the python code runs slower than the pi4 as its processor is actually worse lol and its running sequentially…without using the GPU at all

HHHHOWWW ? do you go about getting the GPU to action the realsense stuff ? … sorry - thick question but frankly every time i google it i just get build videos from jetson hacks that may or may NOT be what im looking for and im trying not to disappear down too many rabbit holes ! :S

Hi Steve, I am going to tag and move this topic over to the Jetson Nano category for better exposure.

Cheers,

Hi,

Could you share how do you open the camera with OpenCV?
If the default command is used (cv::videoCapture()), the backend frameworks will a CPU implemented ffmpeg.

On Jetson, it’s more recommended to use GStreamer for acceleration.
You can find an example below:

Thanks.
