GStreamer PTZR is a GStreamer plug-in that emulates a PTZR camera using digital image transformations. PTZR stands for Pan, Tilt, Zoom and Rotate. They represent physical degrees of freedom in which a camera may rotate in order to capture different parts of the scene. GstPTZR uses OpenGL HW accelerated transformations to enable real-time performance on resource-constrained embedded systems.

​

GStreamer PTZR supports on-the-fly changes to the requested parameters which allows for real-time object tracking when paired with detection models provided by jetson-inference or similar frameworks.

 

GStreamer PTZR is currently supported in x86, iMX6, Jetson TX1 and TX2 platforms and any other device OpenGL 3 or OpenGL ES 3.
