In this article, we will set up python and check the operation of the camera module.

1. python initialization

1.1. Link settings

In the version of Raspberry Pi OS introduced this time, the symbolic link of python was put on python2 (2.7.16), so I will change the link to python3 (3.7.3). As a side note, the Python library on the Raspberry Pi OS seems to be faster with apt-get than with pip.

#Replacing symbolic links
$ cd /usr/bin
$ sudo unlink python
$ sudo ln -s python3 python

2. Camera module connection

2.1. Connection settings

After connecting the camera module cable to the Raspberry Pi main unit, enable the camera from "Settings" → "Raspberry Pi Settings" → "Interface". Then check if the camera module is connected properly.

#Check camera connection
$ vcgencmd get_camera

If "supported = 1 detected = 1" is displayed, the connection is successful.

2.2. Still image shooting test

As a test, I will take a still image.

#By default/home/Save to pi
$ sudo raspistill -o image.jpg

3. Addition of various python libraries

3.1. OpenCV

First, install the libraries that OpenCV depends on.

# libhdf5-xxx version check(This version is 103)
$ sudo apt-cache search libhdf5

#Installation of various libraries
$ sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libhdf5-103
$ sudo apt-get install libqtgui4 libqtwebkit4 libqt4-test python3-pyqt5
$ sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libjasper-dev

Then install OpenCV.

#OpenCV installation
$ sudo pip3 --default-timeout=1000 install opencv-python

If this is left as it is, ʻimport cv2may throw an error, so set the environment variable. Add the following to "~ / .bashrc" and executesource ~ / .bashrc`.

# ~/.Added to bashrc
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libatomic.so.1

4. Try it with OpenCV

4.1. Display test

This code displays the screen captured from the camera in grayscale and ends when the q key is pressed.

capture_test.py



import cv2

def capture():
    # 0 is a camera number.
    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

    print('### Break is \'q\' key.')

    while(cap.isOpened()):
        # 'ret' is a boolean.
        ret, frame = cap.read()

        gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

        cv2.imshow('frame', gray)

        # Break is 'q' key.
        if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xff == ord('q'):
            break

    cap.release()
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()

if __name__=='__main__':
    capture()
