For testing the plugin you can also use the following examples for x86 for different situations. These pipelines are just a guide, you can combine and modify them to fit your needs.

Setting up Environment Variables

First, is important to create the calibration file using the calibration tool. For the following examples, we will use the Birds Eye View calibration file provided. Therefore, the examples will expect the input of 6 cameras and a resolution of 1280x720px, the number of cameras and resolution can be adjusted depending on the calibration file.

CALIBRATION_FILE=birds_eye_view.json

CAPS="video/x-raw,format=RGBA"

You'll note that we deliberately avoid setting the image resolution in the caps, since the image codecs should automatically parse the correct values.

Birds Eye View from images

For this example, we will use the sample images provided.

Camera 0
Camera 1
Camera 2
Camera 3
Camera 4
Camera 5

Saving a image

gst-launch-1.0 bev name=bev0 calibration-file=$CALIBRATION_FILE \
 filesrc location=samples/bev_6_cameras/cam_0.jpg ! jpegparse ! nvjpegdec ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw ! queue ! bev0.sink_0 \
 filesrc location=samples/bev_6_cameras/cam_1.jpg ! jpegparse ! nvjpegdec ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw ! queue ! bev0.sink_1 \
 filesrc location=samples/bev_6_cameras/cam_2.jpg ! jpegparse ! nvjpegdec ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw ! queue ! bev0.sink_2 \
 filesrc location=samples/bev_6_cameras/cam_5.jpg ! jpegparse ! nvjpegdec ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw ! queue ! bev0.sink_3 \
 filesrc location=samples/bev_6_cameras/cam_4.jpg ! jpegparse ! nvjpegdec ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw ! queue ! bev0.sink_4 \
 filesrc location=samples/bev_6_cameras/cam_3.jpg ! jpegparse ! nvjpegdec ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw ! queue ! bev0.sink_5 \
 bev0. ! queue ! videoconvert ! jpegenc ! filesink location=$OUTPUT

The expected output would be the following.

Birds Eye view from UDP SRC

For this example the ports for each camera will start from 4000 to 4005.
