Key Features

GStreamer package for ZED Cameras. The package is composed of several elements:

zedsrc: acquires camera color image and depth map and pushes them in a GStreamer pipeline.
zedxonesrc: acquires camera color image from a ZED X One GS or ZED X One 4K camera and pushes them in a GStreamer pipeline. Note: this element does not use the ZED SDK, but a porting of the zedx-one-capture library.
zedmeta: GStreamer library to define and handle the ZED metadata (Positional Tracking data, Sensors data, Detected Object data, Detected Skeletons data).
zeddemux: receives a composite zedsrc stream (color left + color right data or color left + depth map + metadata), processes the eventual depth data and pushes them in two separated new streams named src_left and src_aux. A third source pad is created for metadata to be externally processed.
zeddatamux: receive a video stream compatible with ZED caps and a ZED Data Stream generated by the zeddemux and adds metadata to the video stream. This is useful if metadata are removed by a filter that does not automatically propagate metadata
zeddatacsvsink: example sink element that receives ZED metadata, extracts the Positional Tracking and the Sensors Data and save them in a CSV file.
zedodoverlay: example transform filter element that receives ZED combined stream with metadata, extracts Object Detection information and draws the overlays on the oncoming filter
RTSP Server: application for Linux that instantiates an RTSP server from a text launch pipeline "gst-launch" like.

Build

Prerequisites

ZED SDK v4.1
CMake (v3.6+)
GStreamer 1.0

Windows installation

Install the latest ZED SDK v4 from the official download page [Optional to compile the zedsrc element to acquire data from a ZED camera device]
Install Git or download a ZIP archive
Install CMake
Install a GStreamer distribution (both runtime and development installers).
The installer should set the installation path via the GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_X86_64 environment variable.

Elements properties

`ZED Video Source Element` properties

Metadata

The zedsrc element add metadata to the video stream containing information about the original frame size, the camera position and orientatio, the sensors data and the object and skeleton detected by the Object Detection module. The zeddatacsvsink and zedodoverlay elements demonstrate how to handle, respectively, the sensors data and the detected object data. The GstZedSrcMeta structure is provided to handle the zedmeta metadata and it is available in the gstzedmeta library.

GstZedSrcMeta structure

The GstZedSrcMeta is subdivided in four sub-structures:

ZedInfo: info about camera model, stream type and original stream size
ZedPose: position and orientation of the camera if positional tracking is enabled
ZedSensors: sensors data (only ZED-Mini and ZED2)
ZedObjectData: detected object information (only ZED2)

More details about the sub-structures are available in the gstzedmeta.h file

RTSP Server

Available only for Linux

An application to start an RTSP server from a text pipeline (using the same sintax of the CLI command gst-launch-1.0) is provided.

Usage:

   gst-zed-rtsp-launch [OPTION?] PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION

Help Options:

-h, --help -> Show help options.
--help-all -> Show all help options.
--help-gst -> Show GStreamer Options.

Application Options:

-p, --port=PORT -> Port to listen on (default: 8554).
-a, --address=HOST -> Host address (default: 127.0.0.1).

Example:

   gst-zed-rtsp-launch zedsrc ! videoconvert ! 'video/x-raw, format=(string)I420' ! x264enc ! rtph264pay pt=96 name=pay0

It is mandatory to define at least one payload named pay0; it is possible to define multiple payloads using an increasing index (i.e. pay1, pay2, ...).
