Tegra_multimedia_api/samples/05_jpeg_encode run time error

Hi,

I built tegra_multimedia_api/samples/05_jpeg_encode
on Tx2 with xEC2 board. but I got the following error message during run-time. “JPEG parameter struct mismatch: library thinks size is 728, caller expects 704”

It is a lib conflict problem between libjpeg and libnvjpeg based on the discussion in this forum. Maybe I missed something, I did not find a clear answer on how to fix this issue. Therefore I post it again.

BTW, i did not build and install opencv yet. Here is my L4T version
$cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

Here is my compile and link command.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,
It looks like it doesn’t refer to correct jpeglib.h. Please ensure you refer to the one in jetson_multimedia_api. There is a default Makefile. You may also try to build/run with the one.

Thanks DaneLLL,

I built it from the default Makefile inside jetson_multimedia_api. And it does refer to the jpeglib.h coming with 05 sample code.

Hi,
After the installation, the samples are in

/usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api

Do you run this sample? The default samples are verified in each release and should run well.

Thanks again DaneLLL!

Since we re-flashing TX2 by using a specific-custom-oem pkg (cuda 10.0) provided by XIMEA for its xEC2 board, there is no source code in /usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api, then I downloaded it from sabipeople · GitHub

What I want to do is to compress and save 8000x6000 RGB images into jpeg file at ~5-10 frames/sec. To do that i researched the following options

  1. Using nvJPEG :: CUDA, but it needs cuda 10.1 and beyond (XIMEA cannot provide the latest cuda kit at this moment)

  2. Using libnvjpeg examples in tegra_multimedia_api/samples/05_jpeg_encode

  3. open source based on npp such as
    GitHub - yuanxy92/GenCameraDriver: General Industry Camera Driver
    but comparing with cv::imencode(), the compressed image quality is very bad.

Therefore i focus on the 2nd approach. Seems the issue comes from that jetson_multimedia_api is not match my system. Do you have an office place to download it for the the following platform?
R32 (release), REVISION: 3.1, GCID: 18186506, BOARD: t186ref, EABI: aarch64

Thanks!

Thanks the hint from DaneLLL. I eventually find a right way to download the official nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api by:
$sudo apt install nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api

Then build and run the following sample code without any errors. /usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api/samples/05_jpeg_encode

At this point, this ticket is closed!

Hi,
Good to know that. Thanks for sharing the tip.
