NvMedia Sample Applications

NvMedia Application	Description
IPP Raw nvmipp_raw	Demonstrates how to create the NvMedia IPP components to build one or more IPP pipelines to process raw image input from one or more cameras. It provides an example on how to build multiple concurrent IPP pipelines and render aggregate stream output. The output of IPP is sent through the EGL Stream to an OpenGL consumer that applies local tone mapping. It operates by parsing command line arguments and a configuration file.
IPP YUV nvmipp_yuv	Demonstrates how to create the NvMedia IPP components to build one or more IPP pipelines to process YUV image input from one or more cameras. It provides an example on how to build multiple concurrent IPP pipelines and render aggregate stream output. The output of IPP is sent through the EGL Stream to an OpenGL consumer that applies local tone mapping. It operates by parsing command line arguments and a configuration file.
IPP File nvmipp_file	Demonstrates how to use the NvMedia Image Processing Pipeline (IPP) framework to: • Read RAW images from the filesystem • Process the RAW images through the Image Signal Processor (ISP) • Write the processed images to the filesystem It also demonstrates how different IPP components can be connected to form an IPP pipeline.
Image Camera Capture nvmimg_cap	Captures frames from sensors using the NvMedia Image Sensor Control API to display them to a screen and/or save them to a file. It can also be used to test the error detection functionality of the ISC.
Image USB Camera Capture nvmimg_usbcap	Captures frames from UVC compliant USB camera nodes and renders to a display using EGLStreams.
Image Capture Calibrate nvmimg_cc	Used to bring up or validate the camera sensor and capture sensor data to raw files for camera calibration. It also parses a script file with the necessary I2C commands and sends them to the designated sensor(s). If you run the application with any calibration command option, you must specify a sensor name.
Image Encode nvmimg_enc	Demonstrates the usage of the NvMedia image encode API to encode H.264/H.265 bitstreams based on the NVENC hardware engine.
Image JPEG Encode nvmimg_jpgenc	Demonstrates how to encode image surfaces into JPEG bitstreams using the NvMedia JPEG encode APIs.
Video Encode nvmvid_enc	Demonstrates using the NvMedia video encode API to encode H.264/H.265 bitstreams based on the NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) hardware engine. The application accepts raw YUV/RGB frames as input and produces compressed elementary stream as output. It supports encoding of: • H.264 Baseline • Main profiles up to Level 4.1 • High profiles up to Level 4.1 • H.265 Main profiles up to level 6.0 with various configure parameters Test cases are also provided to cover all the feature testing.
Image JPEG Decode nvmimg_jpgdec	Demonstrates how to decode a set of JPEG bitstreams into image surfaces using the NvMedia JPEG decode APIs.
IPP Capture nvmipp_capture	Captures raw and processed outputs simultaneously to a file from the NvMedia Image Processing Pipleine (NvMedia IPP). It also demonstrates how to use NvMedia IPP to capture raw, ISP-processed and LTM-processed output from a camera with the auto-control algorithms turned on or off. It can be used to re-process the captured raw-stream through the NvMedia image processing pipeline using the File Reader component, instead of the Capture component, as input into the IPP pipeline.
IPP Sensor Statistics Control nvmipp_ssc	Demonstrates how to use the NvMedia IPP components to build IPP pipelines and embedded sensor statistics for image sensor control. The application features multiple IPP pipelines for concurrent frame capture from multiple sensors, as well as image display and recording. IPP SSC is compatible with the AR0231 RCCB sensor.
EGL Stream nvm_eglstream	EGL is an interface between Khronos rendering APIs such as OpenGL and the underlying native platform window system. It handles: • Graphics context management • Surface/buffer binding • Rendering synchronization It also enables high-performance, accelerated, mixed-mode 2D and 3D rendering using other Khronos APIs.
Video Demo nvmvid_play	Describes how to use the sample application for stream decoding and playback.
Image 2D Processing nvmimg_weave2d	Describes the Weave2D sample application, nvmimg_weave2d, demonstrating the Image 2D Processing API.
