Basic usage

1. Download the repo

git clone https://github.com/marcoslucianops/DeepStream-Yolo.git
cd DeepStream-Yolo

2. Download the cfg and weights files from Darknet repo to the DeepStream-Yolo folder

3. Compile the lib

3.1. Set the CUDA_VER according to your DeepStream version

export CUDA_VER=XY.Z

• x86 platform

  DeepStream 7.0 / 6.4 = 12.2
  DeepStream 6.3 = 12.1
  DeepStream 6.2 = 11.8
  DeepStream 6.1.1 = 11.7
  DeepStream 6.1 = 11.6
  DeepStream 6.0.1 / 6.0 = 11.4
  DeepStream 5.1 = 11.1
  

• Jetson platform

  DeepStream 7.0 / 6.4 = 12.2
  DeepStream 6.3 / 6.2 / 6.1.1 / 6.1 = 11.4
  DeepStream 6.0.1 / 6.0 / 5.1 = 10.2
  

3.2. Make the lib

make -C nvdsinfer_custom_impl_Yolo clean && make -C nvdsinfer_custom_impl_Yolo

4. Edit the config_infer_primary.txt file according to your model (example for YOLOv4)

[property]
...
custom-network-config=yolov4.cfg
model-file=yolov4.weights
...

NOTE: For Darknet models, by default, the dynamic batch-size is set. To use static batch-size, uncomment the line

...
force-implicit-batch-dim=1
...

5. Run

deepstream-app -c deepstream_app_config.txt

NOTE: The TensorRT engine file may take a very long time to generate (sometimes more than 10 minutes).

NOTE: If you want to use YOLOv2 or YOLOv2-Tiny models, change the deepstream_app_config.txt file before run it

...
[primary-gie]
...
config-file=config_infer_primary_yoloV2.txt
...

Docker usage

• x86 platform

  nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream:7.0-gc-triton-devel
  nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream:7.0-triton-multiarch
  

• Jetson platform

  nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream:7.0-triton-multiarch
  

NOTE: To compile the nvdsinfer_custom_impl_Yolo, you need to install the g++ inside the container

apt-get install build-essential

NOTE: With DeepStream 7.0, the docker containers do not package libraries necessary for certain multimedia operations like audio data parsing, CPU decode, and CPU encode. This change could affect processing certain video streams/files like mp4 that include audio track. Please run the below script inside the docker images to install additional packages that might be necessary to use all of the DeepStreamSDK features:

/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/user_additional_install.sh

NMS Configuration

To change the nms-iou-threshold, pre-cluster-threshold and topk values, modify the config_infer file

[class-attrs-all]
nms-iou-threshold=0.45
pre-cluster-threshold=0.25
topk=300

NOTE: Make sure to set cluster-mode=2 in the config_infer file.

Notes

1. Sometimes while running gstreamer pipeline or sample apps, user can encounter error: GLib (gthread-posix.c): Unexpected error from C library during 'pthread_setspecific': Invalid argument. Aborting.. The issue is caused because of a bug in glib 2.0-2.72 version which comes with Ubuntu 22.04 by default. The issue is addressed in glib 2.76 and its installation is required to fix the issue (https://github.com/GNOME/glib/tree/2.76.6).

   • Migrate glib to newer version

     pip3 install meson
     pip3 install ninja
     

     NOTE: It is recommended to use Python virtualenv.

     git clone https://github.com/GNOME/glib.git
     cd glib
     git checkout 2.76.6
     meson build --prefix=/usr
     ninja -C build/
     cd build/
     ninja install
     

   • Check and confirm the newly installed glib version:

     pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0
     

2. Sometimes with RTSP streams the application gets stuck on reaching EOS. This is because of an issue in rtpjitterbuffer component. To fix this issue, a script has been provided with required details to update gstrtpmanager library.

   /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/update_rtpmanager.sh
   

Extract metadata

You can get metadata from DeepStream using Python and C/C++. For C/C++, you can edit the deepstream-app or deepstream-test codes. For Python, your can install and edit deepstream_python_apps.

Basically, you need manipulate the NvDsObjectMeta (Python / C/C++) and NvDsFrameMeta (Python / C/C++) to get the label, position, etc. of bboxes.
