Tracker Bounding Boxes Exceeding Frame Dimensions with bbox unclipping = 0

Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

jetson xavier nx
• DeepStream Version

• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only)

• Issue Type( questions, new requirements, bugs)

We are using the provided tracker config file “/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.0/samples/configs/deepstream-app/config_tracker_NvDCF_max_perf.yml”, which has disabled bbox unclipping.

We are still seeing some bounding boxes with values that slighty exceed the frame dimensions, for example a bounding box with:

left: 1300.24394989014
top: 940.227062702179
width: 55.8464348316193
height: 150.41189789772

which would put its bottom centre co-ord at ( 1328.16707611084, 1090.63892841339) for a 1920x1080 frame.

Is this expected behaviour for the tracker ? Is there a way to ensure that the tracker does not return bbox values outside the frame dims ?

Can you see BBox exceeding frame dimension without tracker? Can you share the reproduce steps? So I can reproduce it in my side.

We are not tracking the bbox dimensions in our use-case without the tracker, only bbox dimensions after the tracker.

This issue began to occur when we correctly configured the app to use the tracker yaml file - before we had been passing it a bad filepath and so it had been running at default behaviour (see log below):

Seems you use DeepStream 6.0. Can you have a try with DeepStream 6.1?

[Scriobhneoir]

Hey kesong,

We have a production application that uses Deepstream 6.0 that we cannot migrate. Is this a known issue within Deepstream 6.0 ?

[kesong]

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

Can you see the BBox exceeding video frame with osd on the screen? Can it be reproduced with DS samples?
