Data Flows#
The app_edgeai application at a high level can be split into 3 parts,
Input pipeline - Grabs a frame from camera, video, image or RTSP source
Output pipeline - Sends the output to display or a file
Compute pipeline - Performs pre-processing, inference and post-processing
Here are the data flows for each reference demo and the corresponding GStreamer launch strings that app_edgeai application generates. User can interact with the application via the Demo Configuration file
Image classification#
In this demo, a frame is grabbed from an input source and split into two paths. The “analytics” path resizes the input maintaining the aspect ratio and crops the input to match the resolution required to run the deep learning network. The “visualization” path is provided to the post-processing module which overlays the detected classes. Post-processed output is given to HW mosaic plugin which positions and resizes the output window on an empty background before sending to display.

Video source#
In this demo, a video file is read from a known location and passed to a de-muxer to extract audio and video streams, the video stream is parsed and raw encoded information is passed to a HW video decoder. Note that H.264 and H.265 encoded videos are supported, making use of the respective HW decoders. The resulting output is split into two paths. The “analytics” path resizes the input to match the resolution required to run the deep learning network. The “visualization” path is provided to the post-processing module which does the required post process required by the model. Post-processed output is given to HW mosaic plugin which positions and resizes the output window on an empty background before sending to display.

Single Input Multi inference#
In this demo, a frame is grabbed from an input source and split into multiple paths. Each path is further split into two sub-paths one for analytics and another for visualization. Each path can run any type of network, image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation and using any supported run-time.
For example the below GStreamer pipeline splits the input into 4 paths for running 4 deep learning networks. First is a semantic segmentation network, followed by object detection network, followed by two image classification networks. If we look at the image classification path, the analytics sub-path resizes the input to maintain the aspect ratio and crops the input to match the resolution required to run the deep learning network. The visualization sub-path is provided to the post-processing module which overlays the detected classes. Post-processed output from all the 4 paths is given to HW mosaic plugin which positions and resizes the output windows on an empty background before sending to display.

Multi Input Multi inference#
In this demo, a frame is grabbed from multiple input sources and split into multiple paths. The multiple input sources could be either multiple cameras or a combination of camera, video, image, RTSP source. Each path is further split into two sub-paths one for analytics and another for visualization. Each path can run any type of network, image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation and using any supported run-time.
For example the below GStreamer pipeline splits two inputs into 4 paths for running 2 deep learning networks. First is a object detection network, followed by image classification networks. If we look at the image classification path, the analytics sub-path resizes the input to maintain the aspect ratio and crops the input to match the resolution required to run the deep learning network. The visualization sub-path is provided to the post-processing module which overlays the detected classes. Post-processed output from all the 4 paths is given to HW mosaic plugin which positions and resizes the output windows on an empty background before sending to display.
