Prerequisites:
- DeepStreamSDK 5.1
- Python 3.6
- Gst-python

To run:
  $ python3 deepstream_nvdsanalytics.py <uri1> [uri2] ... [uriN]
e.g.
  $ python3 deepstream_nvdsanalytics.py file:///home/ubuntu/video1.mp4 file:///home/ubuntu/video2.mp4
  $ python3 deepstream_nvdsanalytics.py rtsp://127.0.0.1/video1 rtsp://127.0.0.1/video2

This document describes the sample deepstream-nvdsanalytics application.

This sample builds on top of the deepstream-test3 sample to demonstrate how to:

* Use multiple sources in the pipeline.
* Use a uridecodebin so that any type of input (e.g. RTSP/File), any GStreamer
  supported container format, and any codec can be used as input.
* Configure the stream-muxer to generate a batch of frames and infer on the
  batch for better resource utilization.
* Configure the tracker (referred to as nvtracker in this sample) uses
  config file dsnvanalytics_tracker_config.txt
* Configure the nvdsanalytics plugin (referred to as nvanalytics in this sample)
  uses config file config_nvdsanalytics.txt 
* Extract the stream metadata, which contains useful information about the
  objects and frames in the batched buffer.

This sample accepts one or more H.264/H.265 video streams as input. It creates
a source bin for each input and connects the bins to an instance of the
"nvstreammux" element, which forms the batch of frames. The batch of
frames is fed to "nvinfer" for batched inferencing. The batched buffer is
used as input for "nvtracker" which adds object tracking, which is then fed into
"nvdsanalytics" element which runs analytics algorithms on these objects.
This output is then composited into a 2D tile array using "nvmultistreamtiler."
The rest of the pipeline is similar to the deepstream-test3 sample.

The "width" and "height" properties must be set on the stream-muxer to set the
output resolution. If the input frame resolution is different from
stream-muxer's "width" and "height", the input frame will be scaled to muxer's
output resolution.

The stream-muxer waits for a user-defined timeout before forming the batch. The
timeout is set using the "batched-push-timeout" property. If the complete batch
is formed before the timeout is reached, the batch is pushed to the downstream
element. If the timeout is reached before the complete batch can be formed
(which can happen in case of rtsp sources), the batch is formed from the
available input buffers and pushed. Ideally, the timeout of the stream-muxer
should be set based on the framerate of the fastest source. It can also be set
to -1 to make the stream-muxer wait infinitely.

The "nvmultistreamtiler" composite streams based on their stream-ids in
row-major order (starting from stream 0, left to right across the top row, then
across the next row, etc.).
