I ran the test as below:
I am continuously running EII 4.1.0 and checking the camera speed. In the meantime, I changed the camera's frame size to 640*640 for inference and tested it.
This clearly shows good performance when the existing frame size is not changed.
The environment I tested was with only one USB camera installed. I'm not sure what problems will arise when connecting to multiple cameras.
Can I reduce CPU and memory usage on an EII 4.1.0 system if I adjust the frame size to a smaller size?
The environment I tested is as follows.
1. Use cases: video-streaming-evam.yml
2. System Hardware Specification:
- Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz
- Installed RAM: 8.00GB (7.68GB usable)
- System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Hi Louis,
Apologies for the delay in our response. We are unable to reproduce the reported issue. Would you mind testing on the latest release and start a new discussion if you run into any issues?

In this test, we are using two camera pipelines of the Microservice.
The cameras are regular USB camera. We adjusted the camera's frame size and tested it at 640 x 640. The test lasted about 2 days.
The table below shows some of the extracted usage data.
Most of the CPU is occupied by the Visualizer. And Memory usage was up to 1.427 GiB by Visualizer.
If it continuously refresh the Chrome browser, the CPU usage will increase and the PC will eventually lose its senses.
How could we overcome this problem?

Hi Louis8,
Thank you for reporting! Let me open a ticket with the development team for further assistance. I also noticed this behavior on my system when running the video-streaming-evam use case with the following pipeline. Could you please share your pipeline?
"pipeline": "v4l2src device=/dev/video0 name=source ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=640,height=480 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=BGR ! appsink name=destination"

Jesus

Hi, Jesus
I share another test data here.
This test is the result of a test that only observed the web browser without refreshing it.
You can see that the memory occupancy is very constant.
It seems that the browser was dead between 00:00 AM and 6:00 AM. So, Visualizer's CPU usage is almost non-existent during that time.
After refeshing once, I could see the CPU taking up up to 160% again. But the numbers didn't rise any further.
Below are the test conditions.
AppContexts:
- ConfigMgrAgent
- EdgeVideoAnalyticsMicroservice/eii
- Visualizer/multimodal-data-visualization-streaming/eii
- USB Camera 2ea (Multi Instance)
- Frame size 640 x 640

I have conducted the test once again. It is EII version 4.1.0. For the test conditions, I limited the time of EVAM's Publisher to 0.1 seconds and conducted the test. However, the issue still persists where the Web Visualizer's CPU usage does not drop once it goes up. Is there a good solution for this problem?
Below are the test conditions.
AppContexts:
- ConfigMgrAgent
- EdgeVideoAnalyticsMicroservice/eii
- Visualizer/multimodal-data-visualization-streaming/eii
- USB Camera 2ea (Multi Instance)
My test results are as follows. Unlike the previous test, the frame size of the camera remained the same as the original source.

H Louis8,
Looks like your system does not meet the minimum requirements for Edge Insights for Industrial. Could you try to test on a different system or increasing the memory?
Getting Started — EII Documentation v1.0 documentation (intel.com)
System Requirement | Details |
---|---|
Processor | 8th generation Intel® CoreTM processor onwards with Intel® HD Graphics or Intel® Xeon® processor |
RAM | Minimum 16 GB |
Hard drive | Minimum 128 GB and Recommended 256 GB |
Operating system | Ubuntu 20.04 |

Of course. I will test it like that.
Below are the test results with camera encoding and decoding removed.
Please refer to it for work.
CPU usage is limited, so there doesn't seem to be any major problems.
Thanks in advance.
BR,
Louis
