NvMedia2D Release Error when Extrinsics Calibration on DriveWorks 1.2.4

Dear,

I use a PX 2 and DriveWorks 1.2.4 to run the surround view camera calibration.

According to the tutorials, we do the whole process in the steps below:

  1. We use AprilTag ID99 as a target to record a video from each camera. Command: ./calibration-intrinsics-constraints --targetDB=/home/nvidia/Desktop/B8Calibration/targets.json --input-video=/home/nvidia/Desktop/B8Calibration/intrinsics/.h264 --output=/home/nvidia/Desktop/B8Calibration/intrinsics/.json

  2. We took pics. from both svc and external camera and copied the images to the corresponding folder as told in tutorials(Also the same name as the json file in intrinsics folder). Meanwhile, we created the special-targets.json file as required in tutorials.

  3. We run the command: ./calibration-graph-cli --dir=/home/nvidia/Desktop/B8Calibration

After that, we found the error in terminal as you can find below:

root@tegra-ubuntu:/usr/local/driveworks-1.2/tools/calibration# ./calibration-graph-cli --dir=/home/nvidia/Desktop/B8Calibration
Arguments:
–data=
–dir=/home/nvidia/Desktop/B8Calibration
–graph=
–offscreen=1
–showDebug=1

So what can be the potential reason to it?

Thanks a lot for your support!!!

Dear weicheng.exe,
Is it duplicate of thread https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1048089/driveworks/errors-when-running-extrinsics-calibration-by-driveworks-1-2-400 . If so, can you follow up issue from that thread
