Description

Abstract:
Live video streaming has become part of our daily lives. Apart from entertainment and surveillance, it is used across industries as part of perception systems for both human and non-human operators. Most commercial camera products are not designed for safety critical environments and may pose hazards that make them unfit for use in railway. We present our way to the world's first SIL2 H.265 camera and how GStreamer has accompanied our journey from building HMIs to functionally safe camera systems.

The talk covers the following topics:
- Why we need functionally safe cameras
- Safety hazards encountered in video streaming
- SIL 2 ISP
- SIL 2 H.265
- Stream safety supervision (FPS, latency)
- Using GStreamer and V4L2 for zero-copy streaming
- Reliable transport of auxiliary safety meta data
