Description

Part of #985. Supersedes the camera_viz commits of #1040 (noitom and oglo_tactile move in #1367); original commits by @jiwenc-nv.

camera_viz moves to the layout in examples/README.md: pyproject.toml at the example root (dist isaaccapture-examples-camera-viz), sources under python/isaaccapture_examples/camera_viz/ (a PEP 420 namespace with no __init__.py at that level), hatchling only-include + sources, and relative sibling imports. camera_viz.sh keeps its commands: setup now also installs the example into its venv (editable), and run, loopback and the systemd unit start it with python -m.

Direct invocations change. The old ones no longer work:

# before (from examples/camera_viz)
.venv/bin/python camera_viz.py configs/replay.yaml
.venv/bin/python camera_streamer.py configs/v4l2.yaml
codec/build.sh

# after (from examples/camera_viz)
.venv/bin/python -m isaaccapture_examples.camera_viz configs/replay.yaml
.venv/bin/python -m isaaccapture_examples.camera_viz.camera_streamer configs/v4l2.yaml
python/isaaccapture_examples/camera_viz/codec/build.sh

A .venv made before this change lacks the example, so rerun ./camera_viz.sh setup once (run and loopback now say so), and ./camera_viz.sh deploy on robots, which now re-renders the systemd unit and restarts the service. Outside setup, install the viewer with uv pip install -e './examples/camera_viz[viewer]'; the sender needs no extra.

The first two commits are @jiwenc-nv's from #1040, cherry-picked onto current main. The first conflicted with the guide consolidation (#1267); I kept main's text, reapplied only paths and commands, and noted that in its message. A third commit fixes references the move left stale, some added on main since #1040 and the rest missed by the original commit, and closes the gaps a standalone install exposes:

  • The camera streaming guide's remaining commands, a sentence that setup installs the example, and a troubleshooting entry for No module named 'isaaccapture_examples'.
  • The root AGENTS.md logging exception, which names the streamer's file.
  • pyproject.toml: a viewer extra declares isaaccapture[cloudxr] and Pillow, which the viewer imports and the sender must run without; the wheel excludes the codec's in-place build tree and .so.
  • The sender-only setup hint, the native-codec error hints and the docstrings that named the old paths or module names.
  • test_synthetic_failures.py imports through the package; test_cuda_setup.py loads scripts/check_cuda.py by path, because setup runs it with the system python3 before the venv exists.

A fourth commit replaces the pyproject.toml restatement of the packaging rules with a pointer to examples/README.md, as the converted examples on main do. A fifth commit makes deploy restart the service instead of enable --now, which left a running streamer on the old unit.

Merging main brought in #1371's cuda_env.py beside the old entry points. It moves into the package with the rest, the entry points import it relatively, and scripts/check_cuda.py imports it through python/, because setup runs that script with the system python3 before the sample is installed. The guide's layout tree lists it.

#1078 and #833 add files under the old paths and need them moved when they rebase.

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update

Breaks direct invocations, existing .venvs and deployed units (migration above); the camera_viz.sh subcommands and the isaaccapture library are unchanged.

Testing

x86_64 / Ubuntu 24.04, Python 3.12, RTX 6000 Ada, against a local isaaccapture 1.7 build.

  • SKIP=check-copyright-year pre-commit run --all-files passes.
  • make -C docs current-docs (sphinx-build -W) passes, and every camera_viz code link on the rendered guide resolves.
  • uv build --wheel examples/camera_viz: every file sits under isaaccapture_examples/camera_viz/, the wheel has no isaaccapture_examples/__init__.py, and a codec build tree and .so placed in the source tree stay out of it.
  • In a fresh venv with the local isaaccapture wheel, uv pip install -e './examples/camera_viz[viewer]'; then python -m isaaccapture_examples.camera_viz --help and python -m isaaccapture_examples.camera_viz.camera_streamer --help work, run from /.
  • tests/python/examples/camera_viz, one pytest per file as ctest runs them, after merging main: 177 passed, including the offscreen render and video-file GPU tests and fix(camera-viz): support the distro CUDA toolkit in setup and at runtime #1371's CUDA detection tests. scripts/check_cuda.py --detect still runs under the system python3 from /. This host's CUDA toolkit is the Ubuntu nvidia-cuda-toolkit package, whose headers CuPy 14 does not find without CUDA_PATH (camera_viz setup fails with a distro CUDA toolkit: "Cannot determine the CUDA toolkit version at /usr" #1368), so CuPy's headers came from cupy-cuda12x[ctk].

Not covered yet: runs that need a display, a headset, the native codec or a Jetson.

  • ./camera_viz.sh setup into a fresh venv, then ./camera_viz.sh run configs/synthetic.yaml --mode window.
  • XR mode with a headset.
  • ./camera_viz.sh setup --with-rtp (builds the codec at its new path), then ./camera_viz.sh loopback configs/replay.yaml.
  • ./camera_viz.sh deploy to a Jetson; service-status shows the unit running -m isaaccapture_examples.camera_viz.camera_streamer.

Checklist

  • I have read and understood the contribution guidelines
  • I have run the linter and formatter with SKIP=check-copyright-year pre-commit run --all-files
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
  • I have added tests that prove my fix/feature works (or explained why not)
  • I have signed off all my commits (git commit -s) per the DCO

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the camera-streaming guide with editable installation and module-based commands for running the viewer and sender.
    • Added setup guidance for resolving missing camera visualization modules.
  • Improvements
    • Camera visualization setup and launch commands now validate that the package is available and provide setup guidance when it is not.
    • Updated installation and service instructions to use the new package-based launch commands.

Point the paths and run commands that landed on main after the move, or
that the move missed, at the packaged layout, and close the gaps that a
standalone install of the package exposes:

- camera_streaming.rst: viewer flags and the manual streamer start use
  `python -m isaaccapture_examples.camera_viz[.camera_streamer]`; setup is
  documented to install the sample itself after resolving isaaccapture,
  and troubleshooting covers `No module named 'isaaccapture_examples'`.
- Root AGENTS.md: the no-isaaccapture logging exception names the moved
  streamer module.
- pyproject.toml: a `viewer` extra declares isaaccapture[cloudxr] and
  Pillow, which the viewer imports and the sender must run without; the
  wheel excludes the codec's in-place build tree and .so.
- camera_viz.sh: run and loopback stop with "rerun setup" when the venv
  predates the package.
- _install_deps.sh: the sender-only closing note gives the module command,
  the pillow comment names controls/hud.py, and the install step says why
  it passes --no-deps.
- Native-codec error hints, the encoder-factory, viewer and controls
  docstrings, and the pipeline package's AttributeError use the new paths
  and module names.
- test_synthetic_failures.py imports through the package; test_cuda_setup.py
  loads scripts/check_cuda.py by path, since setup runs that script with the
  system python3 before the venv or the package exists.

Walkthrough

The camera visualization example is now packaged under the isaaccapture_examples.camera_viz namespace. Its Hatchling configuration, internal imports, setup scripts, local commands, and systemd service use the package layout and module-based launch commands. Tests and camera-streaming documentation reflect the updated imports and paths. Camera runtime logic remains unchanged.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Possibly related PRs

  • NVIDIA/IsaacCapture#1366: Packages a separate example under the same namespace using Hatchling and module-based launch commands.
  • NVIDIA/IsaacCapture#1357: Updates camera_viz setup and dependencies, which this change relocates into the packaged setup flow.
  • NVIDIA/IsaacCapture#1371: Updates camera_viz entry points and setup behavior alongside the module-launch changes.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review acd52

Setup and module-based launches look consistent. After this change, redeploying the camera streamer service to a device where it is already running will not restart it. The old process keeps running until it is restarted manually, so add a restart step to the deploy flow. Display, headset and Jetson testing are still pending per the author.

✅ Preview deployed: https://NVIDIA.github.io/IsaacCapture/preview/pr-1369/

Built from commit 9e1142c. It may take a minute for the updated preview to appear.

State the wheel-layout rule once, in examples/README.md, and reference it
the way the converted examples on main do.

Restart the service after redeployment.

If the old service is active, enable --now leaves its existing process running. Redeployment then reports success while the old streamer and its arguments remain in use. Restart the service after installing and reloading the new unit. (freedesktop.org)

`systemctl --user enable --now` leaves an already-running service on the
previous unit, so a redeploy that changes ExecStart (as the package move
does) kept the old streamer running. Enable the unit, then restart it.

#1371 added cuda_env.py beside the old flat entry points. It now lives in
the package, the entry points import it relatively, scripts/check_cuda.py
imports it through python/ (setup runs that script with the system
python3 before the sample is installed), and test_cuda_setup.py imports
it through the package.
