Fetch RTSP Stream using GStreamer in Python and get image in Numpy

GStreamer-Python

This project helps in fetching continous live RTSP stream using GStreamer, Python and numpy without compromising on stream quality.

multiprocessing is used in python to avoid main thread getting stuck.

Getting Started

Just clone this Repo then in main_prg.py add your rtsp stream on below line:

self.camlink = '' #Add your RTSP cam link

Prerequisites

1. Python 3
2. GStreamer
3. OpenCV (if you want to run this example as is)
4. Numpy

1. Python 3 Installation

This you would already know

2. GStreamer Installation

You will need GStreamer. Installation instruction can be found on this link GStreamer Still for your quick reference will list installation instruction for Ubuntu:

apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-doc gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-gtk3 gstreamer1.0-qt5 gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio

3. OpenCV Installation

There are various way to install OpenCV but example using (Conda, PIP or build from source). But for purpose of this project below is instruction using PIP

pip3 install opencv-contrib-python

4. Numpy Installation

pip3 install numpy

Running the program

Post cloning the Repo, go to repo dir (Also include cam link in main_prg.py as mentioned above).

python3 main_prg.py
