👤 Satwik Trivedi, Product Manager

Imagine validating your AI model's deployment across multiple edge hardware platforms with complete confidence in minutes. Enter the newly enhanced Intelligent Pipeline Generator - a sophisticated AI-powered tool that transforms complex ML model deployments into streamlined, validated pipelines. Whether you're working with computer vision, object detection, classification models, or advanced video analytics, our expanded tool ensures your transition from development to edge deployment is smooth and reliable.

Dual Development Pathways

 

 

The Intelligent Pipeline Generator now offers two specialized deployment pathways, each optimized for specific hardware targets and use cases:
 

NNStreamer Applications

Convert machine learning models and their associated Python implementations into optimized GStreamer pipelines, enabling efficient deployment on a wide range of edge hardware.
 

NVIDIA DeepStream Applications

Build and run highly optimized AI-driven multimedia analytics applications on Jetson devices, leveraging NVIDIA's powerful DeepStream SDK and TensorRT engine.

NNStreamer Pathway: Features & Capabilities

Model Format Support

Deploy your TFLITE and ONNX models with confidence using our streamlined workflow that preserves model accuracy while optimizing for edge performance.
 

Intelligent Code Tracing

Our proprietary tracing technology automatically monitors Python code execution in real-time, capturing:
 

  • Complete execution paths across all visited files
  • Data transformations and operations at each step
  • Tensor specifications and dependencies
  • Critical processing pathways
  • File access patterns

Custom Plugin Generator

Our breakthrough AI-powered Custom Plugin Generator extends NNStreamer's capabilities beyond its native support:
 

Intelligent Plugin Creation: Uses AI to write complex code for tensor_decoder sub-plugins, which handle post-processing for models not natively supported by NNStreamer
 

Automatic Installation: Handles compilation and installation of these plugins in the proper system location
 

Supported Post-Processing Tasks:

  • Image Segmentation - Paints segmented areas with precise boundaries
  • Bounding Boxes - Detects objects, labels them, and draws boxes around them
  • Pose Estimation - Detects keypoints in objects and connects them to form complete figures

Integrated Code Editor: Provides a fully-featured editor for reviewing and modifying generated code when needed, serving as an excellent starting point even when AI-generated code requires adjustments
 

Plugin Management: Displays a comprehensive list of currently installed tensor_decoder sub-plugins with their locations and provides uninstallation options

Seamless Workflow Integration: Automatically notifies the pipeline generator when a custom plugin has been successfully installed so that the new pipeline can utilize it immediately
 

The Custom Plugin Generator is designed to bridge the gap between model development and deployment by extending NNStreamer's capabilities to handle a wider range of models and post-processing requirements, significantly reducing the need for manual plugin development.

PipeFix Validation

Our advanced tensor validation system compares output tensors between your Python implementation and the generated pipeline:

 

  • Detects when the error exceeds defined thresholds
  • Alerts when output shapes mismatch
  • Identifies numerical instabilities
  • Validates pipeline correctness end-to-end
  • Enables precise debugging of transformation issues
