This repository contains GStreamer* elements that enable CNN model-based video analytics capabilities in the GStreamer framework. These elements include such things as object detection, classification, and recognition. Example above shows concise GStreamer pipeline that runs detection & emotion classification, using specific models on a video file:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=cut.mp4 ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! gvadetect model=face-detection-adas-0001.xml ! gvaclassify model=emotions-recognition-retail-0003.xml model-proc=emotions-recognition-retail-0003.json ! gvawatermark ! xvimagesink sync=falseThe solution leverages:
- Open-source GStreamer framework for pipeline management
- GStreamer plugins for input and output, such as media files and real-time streaming from a camera or network
- Video decode and encode plugins, including either CPU-optimized plugins or GPU-accelerated plugins, based on VAAPI
In addition, the solution installs the following Deep Learning-specific elements, also available in this repository:
- Inference plugins leveraging OpenVINO™ Toolkit for high-performance inference using CNN models
- Visualization of computer vision results (such as bounding boxes and labels of detected objects) on top of video stream
