VVAS GStreamer Inference Meta Data Structures

This section covers details about the GStreamer Meta Data structures to host inference meta data produced by the machine learning (ML) inference acceleration software libraries. This metadata structure stores the inferred data generated at multiple levels of ML operation into a single structure in a hierarchical way. This data structure combines, and stores metadata generated by detection and classification models.

The GStreamer plug-ins can set and get inference metadata from the GstBuffer by using the gst_buffer_add_meta () API and gst_buffer_get_meta () API, respectively.

GstInferenceMeta

struct GstInferenceMeta

GstInferenceMeta is the root node of the inference metadata. GstInferencePrediction hosts the actual inference metadata.

Definition

struct GstInferenceMeta {
  GstMeta meta;
  GstInferencePrediction *prediction;
};

Members

Buffer metadata

prediction

Contains all the predictions associated to this node

GstInferencePrediction

struct GstInferencePrediction

This structure represents the inference data generated from the ML operation
