What is the Intelligent Video Analytics Demo?

• Easy to use demo to demonstrate GPU accelerated Inference

• Based on the NGC DeepStream container (https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/containers/nvidia:deepstream)

• Leverages Kubernetes, Helm, NGC, DeepStream

• Best deployed via Helm to deploy the application

• Does not require a Video Management System (VMS)

• Requires an IP camera

What is DeepStream?

DeepStream SDK delivers a complete streaming analytics toolkit for real-time AI based video and image understanding and multi-sensor processing. DeepStream SDK features hardware-accelerated building blocks, called plugins that bring deep neural networks and other complex processing tasks into a stream processing pipeline. The SDK allows you to focus on building core deep learning networks and IP rather than designing end-to-end solutions from scratch.

Running the Intelligent Video Analytics Demo

Prerequisites

1. Kubernetes Cluster
2. Helm/Tiller
3. NVIDIA GPU Operator
4. VLC Media Player (required to view the output)

Run the helm chart

Execute the below command to deploy the Intelligent Video Analytics Demo.

helm install video-analytics-demo

View the infered RTSP feed

Download VLC Player from: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ on the client machine where the user intends to view the video stream.We can view the video stream by entering the following URL in the VLC player.

rtsp://IPAddress of Node:31113/ds-test

IPAddress of the node can be viewed by executing ifconfig on the server node
