Hello,
I am using a Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, and I was able to run my camera successfully with the code below. However, recently, the camera stopped working. I might have made some changes while compiling programs, but I’m not sure. Here’s the code:

import cv2
def gstreamer_pipeline(
sensor_id=0,
capture_width=1920,
capture_height=1080,
display_width=960,
display_height=540,
framerate=30,
flip_method=2,
):
return (
"nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=%d ! "
"video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)%d, height=(int)%d, framerate=(fraction)%d/1 ! "
"nvvidconv flip-method=%d ! "
"video/x-raw, width=(int)%d, height=(int)%d, format=(string)BGRx ! "
"videoconvert ! "
"video/x-raw, format=(string)BGR ! appsink"
% (
sensor_id,
capture_width,
capture_height,
framerate,
flip_method,
display_width,
display_height,
)
)
def show_camera():
window_title = "CSI Camera"
video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(gstreamer_pipeline(flip_method=2), cv2.CAP_GSTREAMER)
if video_capture.isOpened():
try:
window_handle = cv2.namedWindow(window_title, cv2.WINDOW_AUTOSIZE)
while True:
ret_val, frame = video_capture.read()
if cv2.getWindowProperty(window_title, cv2.WND_PROP_AUTOSIZE) >= 0:
cv2.imshow(window_title, frame)
else:
break
keyCode = cv2.waitKey(10) & 0xFF
if keyCode == 27 or keyCode == ord('q'):
break
finally:
video_capture.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
else:
print("Error: Unable to open camera")
if __name__ == "__main__":
show_camera()
When I run this code, I get the following error:
onur@ubuntu:~/Desktop/Project$ /bin/python /home/onur/Desktop/Project/simple_camera.py
nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, framerate=(fraction)30/1 ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! video/x-raw, width=(int)960, height=(int)540, format=(string)BGRx ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw, format=(string)BGR ! appsink
Error: Unable to open camera
I also ran the following command to check the OpenCV version:
onur@ubuntu:~$ python3 -c "import cv2; print(cv2.__version__)"
4.10.0
onur@ubuntu:~$ python3 -c "import cv2; print(cv2.getBuildInformation())"

I also ran the following command to check the OpenCV version:
onur@ubuntu:~$ python3 -c "import cv2; print(cv2.__version__)"
4.10.0
``
Someone said that GStreamer support is disabled according to the build information. Someone suggested that I try enabling GStreamer support, and I began the following steps, but I’m not entirely sure if this is the correct approach:
``
Install necessary dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git pkg-config libgtk-3-dev libatlas-base-dev gfortran python3-dev
Download OpenCV source code
git clone GitHub - opencv/opencv: Open Source Computer Vision Library
cd opencv
git checkout 4.10.0 # or specify the version you need
Create a build directory
mkdir build
cd build
Configure with CMake, enabling GStreamer
cmake -D WITH_GSTREAMER=ON -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local …
Build and install
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
``
Am I on the right track with this, or is there something else I should be doing to get the camera working again?
Thank you for your help!
