RPI 5 Example not working

czion · August 19, 2024, 3:59pm

I have the M.2 hat for the pi 5 with a Hailo 8 on it and I am trying to use the examples from GitHub - hailo-ai/hailo-rpi5-examples. If I run it with input resources it works fine, but trying to run it with a camera causes problems. Just running detection.py from the virtual environment with no arguments gives me the following output

Running it with my custom model’s .hef file gives me

I already checked to make sure the hailort service was running with sudo systemctl status hailort.service but I still restarted it anyway and rebooted the pi, and that didn’t fix it.

I’m having a similar issue. More or less lifted the gstreamer query from the hailo-rpi5 repo into Rust and having the same issue linking the videoconvert step to the hailonet:

failed to parse pipeline from description: Error { domain: gst_parse_error, code: 3, message: "could not link videoconvert0 to hailonet0" }

Which camera is it? USB, RTSP or Picam?

USB should be the easiest, at least as a checking step. Can you also share the exact command that you execute to get that error?

czion · August 20, 2024, 6:29pm

Typing this command results in the first error
python basic_pipelines/detection.py

Typing this command results in the second error
python basic_pipelines/detection.py --hef-path hailo_090.hef

The camera is plugged directly into the pi’s camera port, and it works to pipe video into the yolo example with
rpicam-hello -t 0 --post-process-file hailo_yolov6_inference.json --lores-width 640 --lores-height 640

For RPi camera use ‘–input rpi’
Use the “–help” flag for more details

czion · August 20, 2024, 8:10pm

Using a USB camera fixed the first problem, but the custom model is still giving the same error
gst_parse_error: could not link videoconvert0 to hailonet0

Nadav · August 21, 2024, 5:34am

Can you check if your camera is capable of outputing VGA (640x480) @30FPS?
You can check that with this command:
gst-device-monitor-1.0
It would give a long output, listing all the available resolutions for each connected camera, but ideally you would see something like that:

czion · August 21, 2024, 5:50pm

It lists raw video at 640 by 480 but it doesn’t specify anything else
video/x-raw, format=YUY2, width=640, height=480

czion · August 21, 2024, 10:06pm

Fixing the resolution to match the model fixed that error. Now I’m just dealing with the script since the model isn’t one for detection. I’m trying to adapt the script to work with mine but so far, no success.

Nadav · August 22, 2024, 4:57am

so you’ve switched to a different task? If this the case, need to verify that you have the post processing function.

czion · August 22, 2024, 4:56pm

I was able to get it working with my model after I made a bare-bones post-processing .so file, but it’s running really slowly and with about a 4 second latency

M_S · August 25, 2024, 1:02am

@czion please post your solution!

victor · August 30, 2024, 12:14pm

“could not link videoconvert0 to hailonet0”

how did you solve this issue?

czion · August 30, 2024, 1:59pm

@victor, what solved that problem for me was making sure the script’s resolution matched the resolution my model was expecting. There is a default resolution in the given script, if your model uses some other resolution, it will give that error. @M_S I can’t post my exact code, but if you have questions about the solution I’d be happy to answer them!

victor · August 30, 2024, 2:58pm

this solved the problem:
self.batch_size = 2
self.network_width = 416
self.network_height = 416
self.network_format = “RGB”
nms_score_threshold = 0.3
nms_iou_threshold = 0.45

victor · August 30, 2024, 5:18pm

now the nms post processing is not working…
