Switch Simulation Video

By default, the Product Identification (PID) service uses a bundled simulation video for product detection. You can replace it with your own video file.

Prerequisites

• The input video file must be in .avi format.

Steps

1. Copy your video to the configs/pid/videos/ directory:

   cp /path/to/your/video.avi configs/pid/videos/
   

2. Update the pipeline configuration in configs/pid/config.json. Locate the pipeline string and replace <VIDEO_FILE_NAME> with your file name (without the .avi extension):

   "multifilesrc loop=TRUE location=/home/pipeline-server/resources/externalvideos/<VIDEO_FILE_NAME>.avi name=source ! h264parse ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=BGR ! gvadetect name=detection ! queue ! gvawatermark displ-cfg=\"font-scale=1.5,thickness=3,color-idx=2,font-type=plain\" ! gvafpscounter ! appsink name=destination"
   

   Note: To use different bounding box colors with gvawatermark, refer to the GVA Watermark element documentation.

3. Redeploy the application:

   make down
   make up
