class holoscan.operators.BayerDemosaicOp

Bases: holoscan.core._core.Operator

Bayer Demosaic operator.

==Named Inputs==

receivernvidia::gxf::Tensor or nvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer: The input video frame to process. If the input is a VideoBuffer it must be an 8-bit unsigned grayscale video (nvidia::gxf::VideoFormat::GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_GRAY). If a video buffer is not found, the input port message is searched for a device tensor with the name specified by in_tensor_name. The tensor must have either 8-bit or 16-bit unsigned integer format. The tensor or video buffer may be in either host or device memory (a host->device copy is performed if needed).

==Named Outputs==

transmitternvidia::gxf::Tensor: The output video frame after demosaicing. This will be a 3-channel RGB image if alpha_value is True, otherwise it will be a 4-channel RGBA image. The data type will be either 8-bit or 16-bit unsigned integer (matching the bit depth of the input). The name of the tensor that is output is controlled by out_tensor_name.

==Device Memory Requirements==

When using this operator with a holoscan.resources.BlockMemoryPool, the minimum block_size is (rows * columns * output_channels * element_size_bytes) where output_channels is 4 when generate_alpha is True and 3 otherwise. If the input tensor or video buffer is already on the device, only a single memory block is needed. However, if the input is on the host, a second memory block will also be needed in order to make an internal copy of the input to the device. The memory buffer must be on device (storage_type=1).

class holoscan.operators.FormatConverterOp

Bases: holoscan.core._core.Operator

Format conversion operator.

==Named Inputs==

source_videonvidia::gxf::Tensor or nvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer: The input video frame to process. If the input is a VideoBuffer it must be in format GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBA, GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGB or GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_NV12. If a video buffer is not found, the input port message is searched for a tensor with the name specified by in_tensor_name. This must be a tensor in one of several supported formats (unsigned 8-bit int or float32 graycale, unsigned 8-bit int RGB or RGBA YUV420 or NV12). The tensor or video buffer may be in either host or device memory (a host->device copy is performed if needed).

==Named Outputs==

tensornvidia::gxf::Tensor: The output video frame after processing. The shape, data type and number of channels of this output tensor will depend on the specific parameters that were set for this operator. The name of the Tensor transmitted on this port is determined by out_tensor_name.

==Device Memory Requirements==

When using this operator with a holoscan.resources.BlockMemoryPool, between 1 and 3 device memory blocks (storage_type=1) will be required based on the input tensors and parameters:

1.) In all cases there is a memory block needed for the output tensor. The size of this

block will be out_height * out_width * out_channels * out_element_size_bytes where (out_height, out_width) will either be (in_height, in_width) (or (resize_height, resize_width) a resize was specified). out_element_size is the element size in bytes (e.g. 1 for RGB888 or 4 for Float32).
2.) If a resize is being done, another memory block is required for this. This block will

have size resize_height * resize_width * in_channels * in_element_size_bytes.
3.) If the input tensor will be in host memory, a memory block is needed to copy the input

to the device. This block will have size in_height * in_width * in_channels * in_element_size_bytes.

Thus when declaring the memory pool, num_blocks will be between 1 and 3 and block_size must be greater or equal to the largest of the individual blocks sizes described above.

Format conversion operator.

==Named Inputs==

source_videonvidia::gxf::Tensor or nvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer: The input video frame to process. If the input is a VideoBuffer it must be in format GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBA, GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGB or GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_NV12. If a video buffer is not found, the input port message is searched for a tensor with the name specified by in_tensor_name. This must be a tensor in one of several supported formats (unsigned 8-bit int or float32 graycale, unsigned 8-bit int RGB or RGBA YUV420 or NV12). The tensor or video buffer may be in either host or device memory (a host->device copy is performed if needed).

==Named Outputs==

tensornvidia::gxf::Tensor: The output video frame after processing. The shape, data type and number of channels of this output tensor will depend on the specific parameters that were set for this operator. The name of the Tensor transmitted on this port is determined by out_tensor_name.

==Device Memory Requirements==

When using this operator with a holoscan.resources.BlockMemoryPool, between 1 and 3 device memory blocks (storage_type=1) will be required based on the input tensors and parameters:

1.) In all cases there is a memory block needed for the output tensor. The size of this

block will be out_height * out_width * out_channels * out_element_size_bytes where (out_height, out_width) will either be (in_height, in_width) (or (resize_height, resize_width) a resize was specified). out_element_size is the element size in bytes (e.g. 1 for RGB888 or 4 for Float32).
2.) If a resize is being done, another memory block is required for this. This block will

have size resize_height * resize_width * in_channels * in_element_size_bytes.
3.) If the input tensor will be in host memory, a memory block is needed to copy the input

to the device. This block will have size in_height * in_width * in_channels * in_element_size_bytes.

Thus when declaring the memory pool, num_blocks will be between 1 and 3 and block_size must be greater or equal to the largest of the individual blocks sizes described above.

Bases: holoscan.operators.holoviz._holoviz.HolovizOp

Holoviz visualization operator using Holoviz module.

This is a Vulkan-based visualizer.

==Named Inputs==

receiversmulti-receiver accepting nvidia::gxf::Tensor and/or nvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer: Any number of upstream ports may be connected to this receivers port. This port can accept either VideoBuffers or Tensors. These inputs can be in either host or device memory. Each tensor or video buffer will result in a layer. The operator autodetects the layer type for certain input types (e.g. a video buffer will result in an image layer). For other input types or more complex use cases, input specifications can be provided either at initialization time as a parameter or dynamically at run time (via input_specs). On each call to compute, tensors corresponding to all names specified in the tensors parameter must be found or an exception will be raised. Any extra, named tensors not present in the tensors parameter specification (or optional, dynamic input_specs input) will be ignored.
input_specslist[holoscan.operators.HolovizOp.InputSpec], optional: A list of InputSpec objects. This port can be used to dynamically update the overlay specification at run time. No inputs are required on this port in order for the operator to compute.
render_buffer_inputnvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer, optional: An empty render buffer can optionally be provided. The video buffer must have format GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBA and be in device memory. This input port only exists if enable_render_buffer_input was set to True, in which case compute will only be called when a message arrives on this input.

==Named Outputs==

render_buffer_outputnvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer, optional: Output for a filled render buffer. If an input render buffer is specified, it is using that one, else it allocates a new buffer. The video buffer will have format GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBA and will be in device memory. This output is useful for offline rendering or headless mode. This output port only exists if enable_render_buffer_output was set to True.
camera_pose_outputstd::array<float, 16> or nvidia::gxf::Pose3D, optional: The camera pose. Depending on the value of camera_pose_output_type this outputs a 4x4 row major projection matrix (type std::array<float, 16>) or the camera extrinsics model (type nvidia::gxf::Pose3D). This output port only exists if enable_camera_pose_output was set to True.

==Device Memory Requirements==

If render_buffer_input is enabled, the provided buffer is used and no memory block will be allocated. Otherwise, when using this operator with a holoscan.resources.BlockMemoryPool, a single device memory block is needed (storage_type=1). The size of this memory block can be determined by rounding the width and height up to the nearest even size and then padding the rows as needed so that the row stride is a multiple of 256 bytes. C++ code to calculate the block size is as follows

Copy
Copied!

            
            def get_block_size(height, width):
    height_even = height + (height & 1)
    width_even = width + (width & 1)
    row_bytes = width_even * 4  # 4 bytes per pixel for 8-bit RGBA
    row_stride = row_bytes if (row_bytes % 256 == 0) else ((row_bytes // 256 + 1) * 256)
    return height_even * row_stride

Notes

The tensors argument is used to specify the tensors to display. Each tensor is defined using a dictionary, that must, at minimum include a ‘name’ key that corresponds to a tensor found on the operator’s input. A ‘type’ key should also be provided to indicate the type of entry to display. The ‘type’ key will be one of {"color", "color_lut", "crosses", "lines", "lines_3d", "line_strip", "line_strip_3d", "ovals", "points", "points_3d", "rectangles", "text", "triangles", "triangles_3d", "depth_map", "depth_map_color", "unknown"}. The default type is "unknown" which will attempt to guess the corresponding type based on the tensor dimensions. Concrete examples are given below.

To show a single 2D RGB or RGBA image, use a list containing a single tensor of type "color".

Copy
Copied!

            
            tensors = [dict(name="video", type="color", opacity=1.0, priority=0)]

Here, the optional key opacity is used to scale the opacity of the tensor. The priority key is used to specify the render priority for layers. Layers with a higher priority will be rendered on top of those with a lower priority.

If we also had a "boxes"` tensor representing rectangular bounding boxes, we could display them on top of the image like this.

Copy
Copied!

            
            tensors = [
    dict(name="video", type="color", priority=0),
    dict(name="boxes", type="rectangles", color=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0], line_width=2, priority=1),
]

where the color and line_width keys specify the color and line width of the bounding box.

The details of the dictionary is as follows:

name: name of the tensor containing the input data to display
- type: str
type: input type (default "unknown")
- type: str
- possible values:
  - unknown: unknown type, the operator tries to guess the type by inspecting the tensor.

Drawing Geometry

In all cases, x and y are normalized coordinates in the range [0, 1]. The x and y correspond to the horizontal and vertical axes of the display, respectively. The origin (0, 0) is at the top left of the display. Geometric primitives outside of the visible area are clipped. Coordinate arrays are expected to have the shape (N, C) where N is the coordinate count and C is the component count for each coordinate.
- Points are defined by a (x, y) coordinate pair.
- Lines are defined by a set of two (x, y) coordinate pairs.
- Lines strips are defined by a sequence of (x, y) coordinate pairs. The first two coordinates define the first line, each additional coordinate adds a line connecting to the previous coordinate.
- Triangles are defined by a set of three (x, y) coordinate pairs.
- Crosses are defined by (x, y, size) tuples. size specifies the size of the cross in the x direction and is optional, if omitted it’s set to 0.05. The size in the y direction is calculated using the aspect ratio of the window to make the crosses square.
- Rectangles (bounding boxes) are defined by a pair of 2-tuples defining the upper-left and lower-right coordinates of a box: (x1, y1), (x2, y2).
- Ovals are defined by (x, y, size_x, size_y) tuples. size_x and size_y are optional, if omitted they are set to 0.05.
- Texts are defined by (x, y, size) tuples. size specifies the size of the text in y direction and is optional, if omitted it’s set to 0.05. The size in the x direction is calculated using the aspect ratio of the window. The index of each coordinate references a text string from the text parameter and the index is clamped to the size of the text array. For example, if there is one item set for the text parameter, e.g. text=["my_text"] and three coordinates, then my_text is rendered three times. If text=["first text", "second text"] and three coordinates are specified, then first text is rendered at the first coordinate, second text at the second coordinate and then second text again at the third coordinate. The text string array is fixed and can’t be changed after initialization. To hide text which should not be displayed, specify coordinates greater than (1.0, 1.0) for the text item, the text is then clipped away.
- 3D Points are defined by a (x, y, z) coordinate tuple.
- 3D Lines are defined by a set of two (x, y, z) coordinate tuples.
- 3D Lines strips are defined by a sequence of (x, y, z) coordinate tuples. The first two coordinates define the first line, each additional coordinate adds a line connecting to the previous coordinate.
- 3D Triangles are defined by a set of three (x, y, z) coordinate tuples.
Displaying Depth Maps

When type is depth_map the provided data is interpreted as a rectangular array of depth values. Additionally a 2d array with a color value for each point in the grid can be specified by setting type to depth_map_color.

The type of geometry drawn can be selected by setting depth_map_render_mode.

Depth maps are rendered in 3D and support camera movement. The camera is controlled using the mouse:
- Orbit (LMB)
- Pan (LMB + CTRL | MMB)
- Dolly (LMB + SHIFT | RMB | Mouse wheel)
- Look Around (LMB + ALT | LMB + CTRL + SHIFT)
- Zoom (Mouse wheel + SHIFT)
Output

By default a window is opened to display the rendering, but the extension can also be run in headless mode with the headless parameter.

Using a display in exclusive mode is also supported with the use_exclusive_display parameter. This reduces the latency by avoiding the desktop compositor.

The rendered framebuffer can be output to render_buffer_output.

class View

Bases: pybind11_builtins.pybind11_object

View for the InputSpec of a HolovizOp operator.

Notes

Layers can also be placed in 3D space by specifying a 3D transformation matrix. Note that for geometry layers there is a default matrix which allows coordinates in the range of [0 … 1] instead of the Vulkan [-1 … 1] range. When specifying a matrix for a geometry layer, this default matrix is overwritten.

When multiple views are specified, the layer is drawn multiple times using the specified layer views.

It’s possible to specify a negative term for height, which flips the image. When using a negative height, one should also adjust the y value to point to the lower left corner of the viewport instead of the upper left corner.

Holoviz visualization operator using Holoviz module.

This is a Vulkan-based visualizer.

==Named Inputs==

receiversmulti-receiver accepting nvidia::gxf::Tensor and/or nvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer: Any number of upstream ports may be connected to this receivers port. This port can accept either VideoBuffers or Tensors. These inputs can be in either host or device memory. Each tensor or video buffer will result in a layer. The operator autodetects the layer type for certain input types (e.g. a video buffer will result in an image layer). For other input types or more complex use cases, input specifications can be provided either at initialization time as a parameter or dynamically at run time (via input_specs). On each call to compute, tensors corresponding to all names specified in the tensors parameter must be found or an exception will be raised. Any extra, named tensors not present in the tensors parameter specification (or optional, dynamic input_specs input) will be ignored.
input_specslist[holoscan.operators.HolovizOp.InputSpec], optional: A list of InputSpec objects. This port can be used to dynamically update the overlay specification at run time. No inputs are required on this port in order for the operator to compute.
render_buffer_inputnvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer, optional: An empty render buffer can optionally be provided. The video buffer must have format GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBA and be in device memory. This input port only exists if enable_render_buffer_input was set to True, in which case compute will only be called when a message arrives on this input.

==Named Outputs==

render_buffer_outputnvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer, optional: Output for a filled render buffer. If an input render buffer is specified, it is using that one, else it allocates a new buffer. The video buffer will have format GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBA and will be in device memory. This output is useful for offline rendering or headless mode. This output port only exists if enable_render_buffer_output was set to True.
camera_pose_outputstd::array<float, 16> or nvidia::gxf::Pose3D, optional: The camera pose. Depending on the value of camera_pose_output_type this outputs a 4x4 row major projection matrix (type std::array<float, 16>) or the camera extrinsics model (type nvidia::gxf::Pose3D). This output port only exists if enable_camera_pose_output was set to True.

==Device Memory Requirements==

Notes

To show a single 2D RGB or RGBA image, use a list containing a single tensor of type "color".

Copy
Copied!

            
            tensors = [dict(name="video", type="color", opacity=1.0, priority=0)]

If we also had a "boxes"` tensor representing rectangular bounding boxes, we could display them on top of the image like this.

Copy
Copied!

            
            tensors = [
    dict(name="video", type="color", priority=0),

Drawing Geometry

In all cases, x and y are normalized coordinates in the range [0, 1]. The x and y correspond to the horizontal and vertical axes of the display, respectively. The origin (0, 0) is at the top left of the display. Geometric primitives outside of the visible area are clipped. Coordinate arrays are expected to have the shape (N, C) where N is the coordinate count and C is the component count for each coordinate.
- Points are defined by a (x, y) coordinate pair.
- Lines are defined by a set of two (x, y) coordinate pairs.
- Lines strips are defined by a sequence of (x, y) coordinate pairs. The first two coordinates define the first line, each additional coordinate adds a line connecting to the previous coordinate.
- Triangles are defined by a set of three (x, y) coordinate pairs.
- Crosses are defined by (x, y, size) tuples. size specifies the size of the cross in the x direction and is optional, if omitted it’s set to 0.05. The size in the y direction is calculated using the aspect ratio of the window to make the crosses square.
- Rectangles (bounding boxes) are defined by a pair of 2-tuples defining the upper-left and lower-right coordinates of a box: (x1, y1), (x2, y2).
- Ovals are defined by (x, y, size_x, size_y) tuples. size_x and size_y are optional, if omitted they are set to 0.05.
- Texts are defined by (x, y, size) tuples. size specifies the size of the text in y direction and is optional, if omitted it’s set to 0.05. The size in the x direction is calculated using the aspect ratio of the window. The index of each coordinate references a text string from the text parameter and the index is clamped to the size of the text array. For example, if there is one item set for the text parameter, e.g. text=["my_text"] and three coordinates, then my_text is rendered three times. If text=["first text", "second text"] and three coordinates are specified, then first text is rendered at the first coordinate, second text at the second coordinate and then second text again at the third coordinate. The text string array is fixed and can’t be changed after initialization. To hide text which should not be displayed, specify coordinates greater than (1.0, 1.0) for the text item, the text is then clipped away.
- 3D Points are defined by a (x, y, z) coordinate tuple.
- 3D Lines are defined by a set of two (x, y, z) coordinate tuples.
- 3D Lines strips are defined by a sequence of (x, y, z) coordinate tuples. The first two coordinates define the first line, each additional coordinate adds a line connecting to the previous coordinate.
- 3D Triangles are defined by a set of three (x, y, z) coordinate tuples.
Displaying Depth Maps

When type is depth_map the provided data is interpreted as a rectangular array of depth values. Additionally a 2d array with a color value for each point in the grid can be specified by setting type to depth_map_color.

The type of geometry drawn can be selected by setting depth_map_render_mode.

Depth maps are rendered in 3D and support camera movement. The camera is controlled using the mouse:
- Orbit (LMB)
- Pan (LMB + CTRL | MMB)
- Dolly (LMB + SHIFT | RMB | Mouse wheel)
- Look Around (LMB + ALT | LMB + CTRL + SHIFT)
- Zoom (Mouse wheel + SHIFT)
Output

By default a window is opened to display the rendering, but the extension can also be run in headless mode with the headless parameter.

Using a display in exclusive mode is also supported with the use_exclusive_display parameter. This reduces the latency by avoiding the desktop compositor.

The rendered framebuffer can be output to render_buffer_output.

class holoscan.operators.InferenceOp

Bases: holoscan.core._core.Operator

Inference operator.

==Named Inputs==

receiversmulti-receiver accepting nvidia::gxf::Tensor(s): Any number of upstream ports may be connected to this receivers port. The operator will search across all messages for tensors matching those specified in in_tensor_names. These are the set of input tensors used by the models in inference_map.

==Named Outputs==

transmitternvidia::gxf::Tensor(s): A message containing tensors corresponding to the inference results from all models will be emitted. The names of the tensors transmitted correspond to those in out_tensor_names.

==Device Memory Requirements==

When using this operator with a holoscan.resources.BlockMemoryPool, num_blocks must be greater than or equal to the number of output tensors that will be produced. The block_size in bytes must be greater than or equal to the largest output tensor (in bytes). If output_on_cuda is True, the blocks should be in device memory (storage_type=1), otherwise they should be CUDA pinned host memory (storage_type=0).

class holoscan.operators.V4L2VideoCaptureOp

Bases: holoscan.core._core.Operator

Operator to get a video stream from a V4L2 source.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.9/media/uapi/v4l/v4l2.html

Inputs a video stream from a V4L2 node, including USB cameras and HDMI IN.

Input stream is on host. If no pixel format is specified in the yaml configuration file, the pixel format will be automatically selected. However, only AB24, YUYV, MJPG, and RGB3 are then supported. If a pixel format is specified in the yaml file, then this format will be used. However, note if pass_through is false that the operator then expects that this format can be encoded as RGBA32. If not, the behavior is undefined.
Output stream is on host. if pass_through is false (the default) the video buffer is converted to RGBA32, else output the input video buffer unmodified.

Use holoscan.operators.FormatConverterOp to move data from the host to a GPU device.

==Named Outputs==

signalnvidia::gxf::VideoBuffer: A message containing a video buffer on the host with format GXF_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBA.

==Device Memory Requirements==

When using this operator with a holoscan.resources.BlockMemoryPool, a single device memory block is needed (storage_type=1). The size of this memory block can be determined by rounding the width and height up to the nearest even size and then padding the rows as needed so that the row stride is a multiple of 256 bytes. C++ code to calculate the block size is as follows:

Copy
Copied!

            
            def get_block_size(height, width):
    height_even = height + (height & 1)
    width_even = width + (width & 1)
    row_bytes = width_even * 4  # 4 bytes per pixel for 8-bit RGBA
    row_stride = row_bytes if (row_bytes % 256 == 0) else ((row_bytes // 256 + 1) * 256)
    return height_even * row_stride

Parameters

fragmentFragment (constructor only): The fragment that the operator belongs to.
allocatorholoscan.resources.Allocator: Memory allocator to use for the output.
devicestr: The device to target (e.g. “/dev/video0” for device 0). Default value is "/dev/video0".

num_buffersint, optional: Number of V4L2 buffers to use. Default value is 4.
pixel_formatstr: Video stream pixel format (little endian four character code (fourcc)). Default value is "auto".
pass_throughbool: If set, pass through the input buffer to the output unmodified, else convert to RGBA32. Default value is False.
namestr, optional (constructor only): The name of the operator. Default value is "v4l2_video_capture".
exposure_timeint, optional: Exposure time of the camera sensor in multiples of 100 μs (e.g. setting exposure_time to 100 is 10 ms). Default: auto exposure, or camera sensor default. Use v4l2-ctl -d /dev/<your_device> -L for a range of values supported by your device. When not set by the user, V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO is set to V4L2_EXPOSURE_AUTO, or to V4L2_EXPOSURE_APERTURE_PRIORITY if the former is not supported. When set by the user, V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO is set to V4L2_EXPOSURE_SHUTTER_PRIORITY, or to V4L2_EXPOSURE_MANUAL if the former is not supported. The provided value is then used to set V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_ABSOLUTE.
gainint, optional: Gain of the camera sensor. Default: auto gain, or camera sensor default. Use v4l2-ctl -d /dev/<your_device> -L for a range of values supported by your device. When not set by the user, V4L2_CID_AUTOGAIN is set to true (if supported). When set by the user, V4L2_CID_AUTOGAIN is set to false (if supported).

Operator class to replay a video stream from a file.

==Named Outputs==

outputnvidia::gxf::Tensor: A message containing a video frame deserialized from disk. Depending on the metadata in the file being read, this tensor could be on either CPU or GPU. For the data used in examples distributed with the SDK, the tensor will be an unnamed GPU tensor (name == “”).

Parameters

fragmentholoscan.core.Fragment (constructor only): The fragment that the operator belongs to.
directorystr: Directory path for reading files from.
basenamestr: User specified file name without extension.
batch_sizeint, optional: Number of entities to read and publish for one tick. Default value is 1.
ignore_corrupted_entitiesbool, optional: If an entity could not be deserialized, it is ignored by default; otherwise a failure is generated. Default value is True.
frame_ratefloat, optional: Frame rate to replay. If zero value is specified, it follows timings in timestamps. Default value is 0.0.
realtimebool, optional: Playback video in realtime, based on frame_rate or timestamps. Default value is True.
repeatbool, optional: Repeat video stream in a loop. Default value is False.
countint, optional: Number of frame counts to playback. If zero value is specified, it is ignored. If the count is less than the number of frames in the video, it would finish early. Default value is 0.
allocatorholoscan.core.Allocator: Allocator used to tensor memory. Currently, only the holoscan.resources.UnboundedAllocator is supported. The default value of None will lead to use of a holoscan.resources.UnboundedAllocator.
entity_serializerholoscan.core.EntitySerializer: The entity serializer used for deserialization. The default value of None will lead to use of a default holoscan.resources.StdEntitySerializer. If this argument is specified, then the allocator argument is ignored.
namestr, optional (constructor only): The name of the operator. Default value is "video_stream_replayer".

add_arg(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

add_arg(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator, arg: holoscan.core._core.Arg) -> None

Add an argument to the component.

add_arg(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator, arg: holoscan.core._core.ArgList) -> None

Add a list of arguments to the component.

add_arg(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator, **kwargs) -> None

Add arguments to the component via Python kwargs.

add_arg(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator, arg: holoscan.core._core.Condition) -> None
add_arg(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator, arg: holoscan.core._core.Resource) -> None

Add a condition or resource to the Operator.

This can be used to add a condition or resource to an operator after it has already been constructed.

Parameters

argholoscan.core.Condition or holoscan.core.Resource: The condition or resource to add.

property args

The list of arguments associated with the component.

Returns

arglistholoscan.core.ArgList

compute(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator, arg0: holoscan.core._core.InputContext, arg1: holoscan.core._core.OutputContext, arg2: holoscan.core._core.ExecutionContext) → None: Operator compute method. This method defines the primary computation to be executed by the operator.

property conditions: Conditions associated with the operator.

property description: YAML formatted string describing the operator.

property fragment: The fragment (holoscan.core.Fragment) that the operator belongs to.

property id

The identifier of the component.

The identifier is initially set to -1, and will become a valid value when the component is initialized.

With the default executor (holoscan.gxf.GXFExecutor), the identifier is set to the GXF component ID.

Returns

idint

initialize(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator) → None: Operator initialization method.

property is_metadata_enabled: Boolean indicating whether the fragment this operator belongs to has metadata transmission enabled.

property metadata: The metadata dictionary (holoscan.core.MetadataDictionary) associated with the operator.

property metadata_policy: The metadata dictionary (holoscan.core.MetadataPolicy) associated with the operator.

property name: The name of the operator.

property operator_type

The operator type.

holoscan.core.Operator.OperatorType enum representing the type of the operator. The two types currently implemented are native and GXF.

resource(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator, name: str) → Optional[object]

Resources associated with the operator.

Parameters

namestr
The name of the resource to retrieve

Returns

holoscan.core.Resource or None: The resource with the given name. If no resource with the given name is found, None is returned.

property resources: Resources associated with the operator.

setup(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator, arg0: holoscan.core._core.OperatorSpec) → None: Operator setup method.

property spec: The operator spec (holoscan.core.OperatorSpec) associated with the operator.

start(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator) → None: Operator start method.

stop(self: holoscan.core._core.Operator) → None: Operator stop method.
