In this article, I install the Raspberry Pi Camera which I will be using to add camera vision to a robot. Also, to maximise the performance of OpenCV and Camera, I will be using a utility to add multithreading to the Python applications. Furthermore, I include Python demo code which also supports USB webcams. Continue reading “Pi Camera Video Capture with OpenCV and Python Multithreading”

Object Detection and Tracking with OpenCV and Python
In this feature, I look at what it takes to setup object detection and tracking using OpenCV and Python code. Using the code snippets included, you can easily setup a Raspberry Pi and webcam to make a portable image sensor for object detection.

OpenCV Color Detection and Filtering with Python
OpenCV color detection and filtering is an excellent place to start OpenCV Python development. In this article, I introduce a basic Python program to get started with OpenCV. The program will allow the user to experiment with colour filtering and detection routines. This article marks the beginning of my efforts to create an object detection robot.

Install OpenCV onto Raspberry Pi from Shell Script
This article is a quick guide on how to install OpenCV onto the Raspberry Pi – the easy way. I will introduce a shell script that will install OpenCV and dependencies without user intervention. Furthermore, I will also introduce GNU Screen so that the OpenCV installation can be done remotely in a Virtual Terminal Session. Continue reading “Install OpenCV onto Raspberry Pi from Shell Script”
