Why dsexample plugin doesn't work in my test example?

Accelerated Computing Intelligent Video Analytics DeepStream SDK

I am going to do homographic mapping inside dsexample plugin using bbox infos.
Now is just testing all plugins interfacing.

I have all necessary requirements inside gstdsexample.h and gstdsexample.cpp.

Added new
gboolean process_mapping; inside struct _GstDsExample{}

so that I have three processes like

if (dsexample->process_full_frame) {

}else if(dsexample->process_mapping){

}else {

}

inside

static GstFlowReturn
gst_dsexample_transform_ip (GstBaseTransform * btrans, GstBuffer * inbuf)
{}

Then create dsexample inside deepstream_test3.cpp

GstElement *pipeline = NULL, *streammux = NULL, *sink = NULL, *pgie = NULL,
      *nvvidconv = NULL, *dsexample = NULL, *nvosd = NULL, *tiler = NULL;

Other necessary processes as follows are also done.

dsexample = gst_element_factory_make ("dsexample", "example-plugin");
if (!pgie || !tiler || !nvvidconv || !dsexample || !nvosd || !sink) {
    g_printerr ("One element could not be created. Exiting.\n");
    return -1;
  }
/* Set properties of the dsexample element */
  g_object_set (G_OBJECT (dsexample), "full-frame", FALSE, NULL);
  g_object_set (G_OBJECT (dsexample), "blur-objects", FALSE, NULL);
  g_object_set (G_OBJECT (dsexample), "process-map-objects", TRUE, NULL);

Finally added into bin

gst_bin_add_many (GST_BIN (pipeline), pgie, tiler, dsexample, nvvidconv, nvosd, transform, sink, NULL);
/* we link the elements together
* nvstreammux → nvinfer → nvtiler → nvvidconv → nvosd → video-renderer */
if (!gst_element_link_many (streammux, pgie, tiler, dsexample, nvvidconv, nvosd, transform, sink, NULL)) {
g_printerr (“Elements could not be linked. Exiting.\n”);
return -1;
}

Currently is I just test probing meta infos.

   if (dsexample->process_full_frame) {

    }else if(dsexample->process_mapping){
        NvDsMetaList * l_obj = NULL;
        NvDsObjectMeta *obj_meta = NULL;
       for (l_frame = batch_meta->frame_meta_list; l_frame != NULL; l_frame = l_frame->next)
       { 
          NvDsFrameMeta *frame_meta = (NvDsFrameMeta *) (l_frame->data);
          guint person_count = 0;
          guint num_rects = 0; 
          for (l_obj = frame_meta->obj_meta_list; l_obj != NULL; l_obj = l_obj->next) {
            obj_meta = (NvDsObjectMeta *) (l_obj->data);            
            if (obj_meta->class_id == PGIE_CLASS_ID_PERSON) {
                person_count++;
                num_rects++;
                //g_print ("Soruce_id left top width height :%d %f %f %f %f\n",frame_meta->source_id, obj_meta->rect_params.left,obj_meta->rect_params.top,obj_meta->rect_params.width,obj_meta->rect_params.height); 
            }
        }
        
        g_print ("Soruce id = %d Frame Number = %d Number of objects = %d  Person Count = %d\n", frame_meta->source_id, frame_meta->frame_num, num_rects, person_count); 
    }
    }else {

    }

When I run nothing is printed to console, why?

But speed slow down a lot.
Before dsexample is plugged in, I can have 5 fps for 5 video sources.
After plugin added, can achieve only 1-2 fps.
But I just do only meta info prints.

Is my sequence in adding into bin not correct?

Why the speed slow down a lot compared to getting meta infos from tiler_src_pad_buffer_probe.

All my files modified are attached.

What could be wrong?
deepstream_test3_app.c (17.1 KB)
gstdsexample.cpp (36.3 KB)
gstdsexample.txt (4.1 KB)

Now I know, I need to update the build so file to deepstream’s lib. :)

Cool.
For speed issue, is it still persist now?

Now speed is quite fast. I don’t notice stagnant.
