RTSP Video Stream Inferencing
Now that you have successfully built a basic file processing application, let us explore a more advanced topic: developing an application that processes real-time video streams using the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). RTSP is a network protocol designed for controlling streaming media servers, enabling functionalities such as play, pause, and stop in real-time. By integrating RTSP into your application, you can handle live video feeds, which is essential for applications like surveillance systems, live broadcasting, and interactive video services. This section will guide you through the process of setting up and managing RTSP streams within your application, enhancing its capability to process dynamic, real-time video data.
First, remove the simaaisrc plugin.
Next, replace it with the Ethernet Input plugin group, which enables the pipeline to receive network-based video streams:
In this example, the input to coming into the pipeline needs to be in the NV12 format. You can set the decoder’s parameters in Edgematic to match NV12, as shown below. For more details on the decoder’s capabilities and advanced configuration, refer to the decoder documentation.
If you already have raw images (for example, the same 100 images used by simaaisrc), you can create an .mp4 video from them locally before uploading to Edgematic. Below is a sample Python script that processes each image, resizes it to 1280x720, and compiles them into an MP4 video:
import cv2
import os
# Output video settings
output_file = "output.mp4"
fps = 30
frame_size = (1280, 720)
duration_per_image = 1 # in seconds
frames_per_image = int(fps * duration_per_image)
# Create a VideoWriter object
fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"mp4v")
out = cv2.VideoWriter(output_file, fourcc, fps, frame_size)
# Initialize a counter to keep track of the number of processed images
image_count = 0
max_images = 100 # Limit to 100 images
# Read the file containing the list of image paths
with open("samples.txt", "r") as file:
image_paths = file.read().splitlines()
for path in image_paths:
if image_count >= max_images:
break # Stop once we have 100 images
# Read the image
image = cv2.imread(path, cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED)
if image is None:
print(f"Error reading file: {path}, skipping.")
continue # Skip files that can't be read
# Resize the image to 1280x720
resized_image = cv2.resize(image, frame_size, interpolation=cv2.INTER_CUBIC)
# Ensure it's in 3-channel BGR
if len(resized_image.shape) == 2: # Grayscale image
resized_image = cv2.cvtColor(resized_image, cv2.COLOR_GRAY2BGR)
elif resized_image.shape[2] == 4: # RGBA image
resized_image = cv2.cvtColor(resized_image, cv2.COLOR_RGBA2BGR)
# Write the same frame multiple times to achieve 0.5s duration
for _ in range(frames_per_image):
out.write(resized_image)
image_count += 1
# Release the video writer
out.release()
print(f"Created '{output_file}' with {image_count} images, each displayed for {duration_per_image} seconds.")
Before uploading your MP4 to Edgematic, run the following ffmpeg command to re-encode the file with settings compatible with our pipeline. This ensures that frames are keyframed appropriately and match the NV12 workflow.
sima-user@sima-user-machine:~$ ffmpeg -threads 4 -n -loglevel error -re -i output.mp4 -an -c:v libx264 -profile:v baseline -bf 0 -force_key_frames "expr:gte(t,n_forced*2)" -r 30 -s 1280x720 -b:v 1500K -maxrate 1500K -bufsize 3000k -pix_fmt yuv420p -sc_threshold 0 -x264opts bframes=0 -preset veryslow edgematic_output.mp4
Once you have edgematic_output.mp4, upload it to Edgematic:
Because our input frames are now NV12 instead of RGB, we need to adjust the postprocessing code. In particular:
Remove or comment out any lines converting from BGR to NV12, since our frames already arrive in NV12 format.
Split the NV12 data into separate planes (Y-plane and UV-plane), draw text onto the Y-plane, and then merge (stack) the planes back together.
Below, notice that in the label_image method, the line calling self.rgb_to_nv12.run(…) is commented out, and the method returns the image as-is. Meanwhile, in run, the plugin reshapes the input into NV12 planes, overlays text only on the Y-plane, and re-combines them:
def label_image(self, image: np.ndarray, result: list) -> np.ndarray:
# ...
# nv12_result = self.rgb_to_nv12.run(image.flatten())[-1] <============= THIS IS THE ONLY CHANGE
return image
# ...
def run(self, input_buffers: List[SimaaiPythonBuffer], output_buffer: bytes) -> None:
# ...
# The second buffer is model output: shape (1000,) float32
model_out = np.frombuffer(input_buffers[1].data, dtype=np.float32).reshape(1000)
height = INPUT_HEIGHT
width = INPUT_WIDTH
# NV12 input has shape (H * 3/2, W)
nv12_frame = np.frombuffer(input_buffers[0].data, dtype=np.uint8).reshape(
(height * 3 // 2, width)
)
# Slice planes
y_plane = nv12_frame[0:height, :] # shape (H, W)
uv_plane = nv12_frame[height:height*3//2, :] # shape (H/2, W) interleaved U,V
# Classify
preds = self.postprocess(model_out)
# Draw text overlay and convert to NV12
y_plane = self.label_image(y_plane, preds)
nv12_frame = np.vstack([y_plane, uv_plane])
# Flatten the NV12 data again in case it's not already 1D, then convert to bytes
nv12_frame = nv12_frame.flatten().tobytes()
# Fill the output buffer with our NV12 data
output_buffer[:len(nv12_frame)] = nv12_frame
# ...

About the plugin:
----------------
This plugin is named 'PostAndOverlay'. It demonstrates:
- Reading model output (probabilities or logits)
- Generating a top-1 classification
- Overlaying the resulting label on the image frame
- Converting BGR frames to NV12 using spy.cvu
- Outputting the final NV12 data via GStreamer
Note: The code uses aggregator-like logic from 'python_plugin_template'.
