Gst-nvjpegdec
===============

The Gst-nvjpegdec plugin decodes images on both dGPU and Jetson platforms. It is the preferred method for decoding JPEG images.
On the dGPU platform this plugin is based on the libnvjpeg library, part of the CUDA toolkit. On Jetson it uses a platform-specific hardware accelerator.
The plugin uses an internal software parser to parse JPEG streams. Thus, there is no need to use a jpegparse open source plugin separately to parse the encoded frame.
The plugin accepts a JPEG encoded bitstream and produces RGBA output on the dGPU platform and produces I420 output on the Jetson platform.
