While working with multiple sets of cameras in a multitude of hardware configurations on the nVidia Jetson AGX we had to modify the driver and device tree frequently. Errors during development were time consuming to debug and hard to catch because of multiple opaque layers in the camera pipeline.

Software Supreme developed an in-house application that eliminates multiple layers(gstreamer, opencv) and uses nvargus directly to streamline camera testing during the camera bring up;

The application has a graphical interface and support for all cameras connected within a single application without the need to restart it and juggle command line arguments.

Our application gave us direct control over the cameras’ controls, such as exposure and whitebalace and more importantly, enabled functionalities not natively provided by argus, like capturing of BAYER RAW images.
