Latency improvement in embedded devices
The system is composed of a digital microscope, where some custom GStreamer filters are applied to improve the video quality. When the video filters were enabled, the client experienced video latency issues. We analyzed each filter’s impact on the whole pipeline. Then, we applied different techniques to reduce the time each filter spent, contributing to the reduction in pipeline time. We achieved a noticeable improvement with the new NVIDIA® resources pool and internal color conversions. A pipeline latency reduction of 20%, from 37 ms to 30 ms.

HbbTV: MPEG-DASH support in an ARM based SoC
The client needed to deploy embedded platforms for the TV manufacturing markets and required a solution for HbbTV 1.5 and 2.0 playback.
Our expertise in HbbTV and GStreamer allowed us to create a bridge between the platform’s audio/video interfaces and the HbbTV-capable browser.
Digital microscope: video correction algorithms
The client’s solution is embedded in a microscope 4K camera. Their GStreamer pipeline needed some video plugins that fixed both the chromatic aberrations and spatial distortion generated by the system’s lenses and digitally reduced the glare in an image.
The project consisted of creating and implementing a correction block for its execution in the GPU of an NVIDIA® Jetson™ Nano.

Automated testing in player multimedia backend
We worked with the client to develop a video management system (VMS) application that enables real-time security monitoring and playback of video surveillance images from an on-site, centralized, or mobile location. This application has two blocks: the GUI part in C# and the multimedia backend in C/C++, with a strong boundary between them.
The proposal was a development based on automated tests. With automated tests, we are not referring to unit tests; unit tests would not add value in this development phase. We have taken advantage of the JSON API and created functional automated tests. They should be included in the CI/CD to detect bugs at an early stage of development in this backend.

Video surveillance application: stabilizing and feature improvement
The client’s hardware used an application for Windows that was no longer supported, and they decided to use GStreamer to make it a multiplatform (Win, MacOS, Linux) tool. The application’s front end was built with C#, with a layer in C/C++, but the system was unstable and had memory leaks and crashes. We got involved in the middle of the development, dividing the project into two phases: stabilizing the system and adding different features like masking and wrapping. Our expertise allowed us to test different approaches and get their app working before the product’s launch.
Industry:
Drone video: efficient capture in challenging conditions
The client’s application allows drones to capture 4k video at 60fps to inspect indoor and hostile environments with little or no ambient light.
They detected certain artifacts in the recordings, and the time to capture snapshots was too long. Our expertise allowed us to offer them a GStreamer-based zero-copy solution that runs on an NVIDIA® Jetson™.
As experts in multimedia software, Fluendo has delivered high-quality code and provided professional and valuable support to our team. We can highly recommend them.
