Hands solution Side packet issue

[Hyempire]

Description

I've just done your tutorial (FaceMesh) and trying to make a Hand Tracking project, refering to the same tutorial. But in the middle of the phases, I got a novel error. (I am very very new to C#, so probably my code is ridiculous..)

This is the error

MediaPipeException: INVALID_ARGUMENT: ValidateRequiredSidePackets failed to validate: 
; Side packet "input_horizontally_flipped" is required but was not provided.
; Side packet "input_rotation" is required but was not provided.
; Side packet "input_vertically_flipped" is required but was not provided.
; Side packet "num_hands" is required but was not provided.

This is my code so far

        }

        // Turn on Webcam
        var webcamDevice = WebCamTexture.devices[0];
        _webCamTexture = new WebCamTexture(webcamDevice.name, _width, _height, _fps);
        _webCamTexture.Play();

        // return coroutine function

        _screen.rectTransform.sizeDelta = new Vector2(_width, _height);

        var stopwatch = new Stopwatch();

        _pixelData = new Color32[_width * _height];

        var handLandmarksStream = new OutputStream<NormalizedLandmarkListVectorPacket, List<NormalizedLandmarkList>>(
            _graph, "hand_landmarks");

        // polling
        handLandmarksStream.StartPolling().AssertOk();

        // Run graph
        _graph.StartRun().AssertOk();

        stopwatch.Start();

        // Bring Rectransform of Screen
        var screenRect = _screen.GetComponent<RectTransform>().rect;

        while (true)
        {
            _inputTexture.SetPixels32(_webCamTexture.GetPixels32(_pixelData));

            // ImageFrame initialize
            var imageFrame = new ImageFrame(
                ImageFormat.Types.Format.Srgba,
                _width, _height,
                _width * 4,
                _inputTexture.GetRawTextureData<byte>());
            // Make Timestamp
            var currentTimestamp = stopwatch.ElapsedTicks / (System.TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond / 1000);

            // imageFrame을 packet에 싸서 inputstream으로 보내기
            _graph.AddPacketToInputStream("input_video", new ImageFramePacket(imageFrame, new Timestamp(currentTimestamp))).AssertOk();

            yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();

            // Get landmarks values
            if (handLandmarksStream.TryGetNext(out var handLandmarks))
            {
                foreach (var landmarks in handLandmarks)
                {
                    var fingerTip = landmarks.Landmark[8];
                    Debug.Log(screenRect.GetPoint(fingerTip));
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private void OnDestroy()
    {
        if (_webCamTexture != null)
        {
            _webCamTexture.Stop();
        }
        if (_graph != null)
        {
            try
            {
                _graph.CloseInputStream("input_video").AssertOk();
                _graph.WaitUntilDone().AssertOk();
            }
            finally
            {
                _graph.Dispose();
            }
        }
    }
}

I tried to provide side packets by adding this code right below running graph.

var sidePacket = new SidePacket();
sidePacket.Emplace("input_horizontally_flipped", new BoolPacket(true));
sidePacket.Emplace("input_rotation", new IntPacket(0));
sidePacket.Emplace("input_vertically_flipped", new BoolPacket(true));
sidePacket.Emplace("num_hands", new IntPacket(2));

but error still exists.

This is how I set objects and Inspector. Exactly same with the tutorial.

I have no idea where to start T.T Please give me any advices you can give.

I think you must create a side packet before you run the graph. After that you must pass the side packet as a parameter to the StartRun function like this: _graph.StartRun(sidePacket).AssertOk();

Thank you so much. But it didn't solve my problem. The errors still exist T.T

Then maybe your hand_tracking_cpu has an error.

The hand_tracking_cpu.txt is the exact one in MediaPipeUnity package..!
