##

### NMS Configuration

To change the `iou-threshold`, `score-threshold` and `topk` values, modify the `config_nms.txt` file and regenerate the model engine file.

**NOTE**: Lower `topk` values will result in more performance.

**NOTE**: Make sure to set cluster-mode=4 and pre-cluster-threshold=0 in config_infer file.

```
[property]
iou-threshold=0.45
score-threshold=0.25
topk=300
```

##

### INT8 calibration

#### 1. Install OpenCV

```
sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev
```

#### 2. Compile/recompile the nvdsinfer_custom_impl_Yolo lib with OpenCV support

* DeepStream 6.1 on x86 platform

```
cd DeepStream-Yolo
CUDA_VER=11.6 OPENCV=1 make -C nvdsinfer_custom_impl_Yolo
```

* DeepStream 6.0.1 / 6.0 on x86 platform

```
cd DeepStream-Yolo
CUDA_VER=11.4 OPENCV=1 make -C nvdsinfer_custom_impl_Yolo
```

* DeepStream 6.1 on Jetson platform

```
cd DeepStream-Yolo
CUDA_VER=11.4 OPENCV=1 make -C nvdsinfer_custom_impl_Yolo
```

* DeepStream 6.0.1 / 6.0 on Jetson platform

```
cd DeepStream-Yolo
CUDA_VER=10.2 OPENCV=1 make -C nvdsinfer_custom_impl_Yolo
```

#### 3. For COCO dataset, download the [val2017](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gbvfn7mcsGDRZ_luJwtITL-ru2kK99aK/view?usp=sharing), extract, and move to DeepStream-Yolo folder

##### Select 1000 random images from COCO dataset to run calibration

```
mkdir calibration
```

```
for jpg in $(ls -1 val2017/*.jpg | sort -R | head -1000); do \
    cp ${jpg} calibration/; \
done
```

##### Create the calibration.txt file with all selected images

```
realpath calibration/*jpg > calibration.txt
```

##### Set environment variables

```
export INT8_CALIB_IMG_PATH=calibration.txt
export INT8_CALIB_BATCH_SIZE=1
```

##### Change config_infer_primary.txt file

```
...
model-engine-file=model_b1_gpu0_fp32.engine
#int8-calib-file=calib.table
...
network-mode=0
...
```

* To

```
...
model-engine-file=model_b1_gpu0_int8.engine
int8-calib-file=calib.table
...
network-mode=1
...
```

##### Run

```
deepstream-app -c deepstream_app_config.txt
```

**NOTE**: NVIDIA recommends at least 500 images to get a good accuracy. In this example I used 1000 images to get better accuracy (more images = more accuracy). Higher INT8_CALIB_BATCH_SIZE values will increase the accuracy and calibration speed. Set it according to you GPU memory. This process can take a long time.

##

### Extract metadata

You can get metadata from deepstream in Python and C/C++. For C/C++, you need edit deepstream-app or deepstream-test code. For Python your need install and edit [deepstream_python_apps](https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/deepstream_python_apps).

Basically, you need manipulate NvDsObjectMeta ([Python](https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/python-api/PYTHON_API/NvDsMeta/NvDsObjectMeta.html)/[C/C++](https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/sdk-api/struct__NvDsObjectMeta.html)) and NvDsFrameMeta ([Python](https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/python-api/PYTHON_API/NvDsMeta/NvDsFrameMeta.html)/[C/C++](https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/sdk-api/struct__NvDsFrameMeta.html)) to get label, position, etc. of bboxes.
