Low frame rate of ZED X on Jetson AGX Orin

d1324 · January 11, 2025, 8:54pm

Hey, we’re running the zed-ros2-wrapper with ROS2 Humble on Jetson AGX Orin (JetPack version 6.1, SDK version 4.2).

The frame rate grab_frame_rate is the default value of 30 (confirmed with rosparam get), yet running ros2 topic hz /zed/zed_node/rgb/image_rect_color runs at barely 14Hz.

Couple more notes:

Running ROS2 nodes are:

/zed/transform_listener_impl_ffff5c09ae30
/zed/zed_container
/zed/zed_node
/zed/zed_state_publisher

Resolution grab_resolution: 'HD1080'
Turning off depth (depth_mode: "NONE") doesn’t help
jetson_clocks is running
jtop shows CPU ~10%, GPU 0~4%
Power mode MAXN

How can we increase the frame rate?

I have the exact same problem even though I use 4 cameras the, GPU is not utilized somehow, stay around 0-20%.

I am afraid it is because of the NVArgus update that came with 6.1.

JetPack 6.1 Release Notes — JetPack 6.1 documentation

Camera

Enhanced the Argus library, reducing CPU utilization by up to 40%.

And somehow it gets the power from CPU. On the other hand the images I get from cameras are bad quality and scale of the objects in the image is distorted.

Hi @ba2sakal and @d1324
did you follow this guide to improve ROS 2 performance?

ba2sakal · January 13, 2025, 10:47am

@d1324
After reactivating depth mode the GPU utilization is normal 60-100. With Depth Mode: None, GPU is utilized as you said 0-4% and frame rate is 30, here is my result:
#149 - Freq: 30.01 Hz (Avg: 30.06 Hz) - Bandwidth: 1899.10 Mbps (Avg: 1902.07 Mbps) - Msg size:

Also I would suggest to use

ros2 run zed_topic_benchmark zed_topic_benchmark --ros-args -p topic_name:=“$topic”

to test topics.

On the other hand the FPS drops if you try to visualize your images in rviz or rqt at the same time. If you do it that way.

ba2sakal · January 13, 2025, 10:50am

Yes I did:
desktop:/workspaces/isaac_ros-dev# sysctl net.core.rmem_max net.ipv4.ipfrag_time net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh
net.core.rmem_max = 2147483647
net.ipv4.ipfrag_time = 3
net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 134217728

and using Cyclone with the script shared.

On the other hand I was not able to increas MTU to higher, I believe Jetson doesn’t support. Increasing it just made the performance worse.

Further, I have another problem of blurry images. I though in the beginning it was due to GPU not utilized but it seems it is another problem. I deleted calibration files and auto downloaded them again but it is the same case either I use ZED_Explorer locally or in Docker Container. The image quality seems very low and blurry even though 4K.

ZED_Diagnostic_Results.json (6.1 KB)

I would be very happy if you could suggest me a idea.

Thanks!

Myzhar · January 13, 2025, 11:07am

Yes, it’s not a good practice to run rviz2 or rqt on the Jetson because they take a lot of resources.

This is correct.

Are you using a “custom” output resolution?

github.com

stereolabs/zed-ros2-wrapper/blob/master/zed_wrapper/config/common_stereo.yaml#L24-L25


      
          pub_resolution: "NATIVE" # The resolution used for output. 'NATIVE' to use the same `general.grab_resolution` - `CUSTOM` to apply the `general.pub_downscale_factor` downscale factory to reduce bandwidth in transmission
          pub_downscale_factor: 2.0 # rescale factor used to rescale image before publishing when 'pub_resolution' is 'CUSTOM'

ba2sakal · January 13, 2025, 1:15pm

Thanks for fast response @Myzhar

Both when I use zed_wrapper or directly from ZED_Explorer, the quality seems low resolution.

I didn’t have this problem while using Jetpack 6.0.

Images from explorer as 1080 and 1200

and from zed wrapper with neutral and custom(downsized3) option.

The neutral 1080p result alread look downsized by 5. Would it be a bug while updating the sdk and neutral stuck with downsized?

I am not sure what is the problem and would be grateful for some help.

Myzhar · January 13, 2025, 1:46pm

Right, you said before that you are using JP6.1 now.
Unfortunately, this is a known problem with JP6.1 and we are working with NVIDIA to solve it as quickly as possible.

ba2sakal · January 13, 2025, 1:56pm

So it is not the problem of my setup but it is a general problem. I was thinking I made a mistake while setting up the JP6.1 configuration.
Do you think this low resolution would affect other algorithms such as VSLAM, object detection etc ?

Thank you for your time!

ba2sakal · January 13, 2025, 2:13pm

@Myzhar
Since JetPack 6.1 was released several months ago and this problem persists, do you think it will take much longer to resolve? I have a project to complete soon and need reliable results. Would you recommend rolling back to JetPack 6.0, or do you think a fix for this issue will be available soon?

I was not able to find similar topic online, I guess there is no work around?

Myzhar · January 13, 2025, 2:34pm

As I told you we are working on a fix. It’s a sneaky problem, otherwise, the fix was released more quickly.

It seems that the cause of this problem is the de-noise filter that is not working the same way it was before JP6.1.
You can first try to disable the denoise control by setting the DENOISING camera control value to 0.
If the result does not satisfy your requirements, a rollback to JP6.0 can be the best way to take until we release a fix.

ba2sakal · January 13, 2025, 3:33pm

Thanks a lot you for your time and effort in providing a detailed response. I will try the suggested solution.
