Uninstalling OpenCV 4.8.0 from agx orin developer kit (64GB) l4t 36.3

sneha.k · January 8, 2025, 12:52pm

I have installed OpenCV 4.8.0 as shown in the figure with sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack command, however this build does not support Gstreamer capability which i require for building video applications.

Is it possible to enable Gstreamer with current installation of OpenCv 4.8.0? If yes, Please share the procedure for the same.

I have read from the reference material on internet that we need to first remove current opencv installation and then build a new one. I tried with this command “sudo apt-get --purge remove opencv-data python-opencv libopencv-dev” but was not successful.

Kindly help us to resolve the issue.

Hi,
Here are some suggestions for the common issues:

1. Performance

Please run the below command before benchmarking deep learning use case:

$ sudo nvpmodel -m 0
$ sudo jetson_clocks

2. Installation

Installation guide of deep learning frameworks on Jetson:

TensorFlow: Installing TensorFlow for Jetson Platform - NVIDIA Docs
PyTorch: Installing PyTorch for Jetson Platform - NVIDIA Docs
We also have containers that have frameworks preinstalled:
Data Science, Machine Learning, AI, HPC Containers | NVIDIA NGC

3. Tutorial

Startup deep learning tutorial:

4. Report issue

If these suggestions don’t help and you want to report an issue to us, please attach the model, command/step, and the customized app (if any) with us to reproduce locally.

Thanks!

Hi,

The default OpenCV doesn’t have GStreamer support.
Please build it from the source.

You can find an automatically building script below:

github.com

AastaNV/JEP/blob/master/script/install_opencv4.9.0_Jetpack6.0.sh

#!/bin/bash
#

version="4.9.0"
folder="workspace"

set -e

for (( ; ; ))
do
    echo "Do you want to remove the default OpenCV (yes/no)?"
    read rm_old

    if [ "$rm_old" = "yes" ]; then
        echo "** Remove other OpenCV first"
        sudo apt -y purge *libopencv*
	break
    elif [ "$rm_old" = "no" ]; then
	break
    fi

Thank you for your response. We will follow the step.

Can we add version=“4.8.0” in .sh file, as you mentioned in install_opencv4.9.0_Jetpack6.0.sh.

Hi,

Suppose yes, please give it a try.
Thanks.
