Creating ClockClock24 using opencv


ClockClock24

Do you know ClockClock24?
ClockClock24 is kinetic art by Humans since 1982. Twenty-four analog clocks form a large digital clock. Clever arrangement of the clock hands transforms the analog clocks into seven-segment displays.

 Here's an introduction video.



This fantastic clock can also be purchased directly online Moma Design Store. But the price is not easy. The price is surprisingly 5,400 $

I came across a page a few days ago that implemented Clock Clock 24 on the Raspberry Pi. The url is https://manu.ninja/clock-clock-24-on-a-raspberry-pi-using-web-technologies.





This work is implemented on the web using Javascript. I wanted to implement this work in Python using OpenCV.

ClockClock24 development using OpenCV

ClockClock24 uses a total of 24 clocks of 3(H) X 8(W). And 2X8 clocks display one of the numbers from 0 to 9. The numbers 0 to 9 have the following shape.



The list of degree angles these numbers create is shown in the Python list:


digit_1 = [ [(225, 225),(225, 225),(225, 225)],  [(180, 180),(  0, 180),(  0,   0)] ]
digit_2 = [ [( 90,  90),( 90, 180),(  0,  90)],  [(180, 270),(  0, 270),(270, 270)] ]
digit_3 = [ [( 90,  90),( 90,  90),( 90,  90)],  [(180, 270),(  0, 270),(  0, 270)] ]
digit_4 = [ [(180, 180),(  0,  90),(225, 225)],  [(180, 180),(  0, 180),(  0,   0)] ]
digit_5 = [ [( 90, 180),(  0,  90),( 90,  90)],  [(270, 270),(180, 270),(  0, 270)] ]
digit_6 = [ [( 90, 180),(  0, 180),(  0,  90)],  [(270, 270),(180, 270),(  0, 270)] ]
digit_7 = [ [( 90,  90),(225, 225),(225, 225)],  [(180, 270),(  0, 180),(  0,   0)] ]
digit_8 = [ [( 90, 180),(  0,  90),(  0,  90)],  [(180, 270),(  0, 270),(  0, 270)] ]
digit_9 = [ [( 90, 180),(  0,  90),( 90,  90)],  [(180, 270),(  0, 180),(  0, 270)] ]
digit_0 = [ [( 90, 180),(  0, 180),(  0,  90)],  [(180, 270),(  0, 180),(  0, 270)] ]


And the size of the canvas will be determined by the following values.


24 clocks will be implemented through the Clock class. And we will use the Clocks class to represent a number. This class will have 6 clock objects. Since we are going to display a total of 4 numbers, we will create 4 clocks objects and we will name them H0_clocks, H1_clocks, M0_clocks, M1_clocks.
In the name, H means hours and M means minutes.

python3 clock_adv.py


You should see a clockclock24 animation that tells you the current time.



Wrapping up

I made the speed and direction of the hour and minute hands the same. However, at https://codepen.io/Lorti/pen/XpQewQ/, the two needles are rotated in opposite directions, and the rotation speed is adjusted to rotate slowly at the last moment. If you want this luxurious effect, you can make various effects without difficulty by modifying the above code. If you are interested, please try it yourself.

Playing YouTube videos using OpenCV

이미지
So far, we have dealt with many examples of playing video files such as mp4, avi, or frames captured using an input device such as a webcam. In this post, we will learn how to play YouTube videos using OpenCV. You can download the source codes here( https://github.com/raspberry-pi-maker/OpenCV ) prerequisite You only need to install the papy, youtube-dl packages. pip3 install papy pip3 install --upgrade youtube-dl Pafy Objects and Stream Objects Pafy objects relate to videos hosted on YouTube. They hold metadata such as title, viewcount, author and video ID. Stream objects relate to individual streams of a YouTube video. They hold stream-specific data such as resolution, bitrate and url. Each Pafy object contains multiple stream objects. If you use papy, you can get information about youtube videos as follows. import pafy url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-UKXCUI0rE' video = pafy . new(url) #The author of the video (str) print(video . author...

OpenCV Installation - Rasbian Buster, Jessie, DietPi Buster

이미지
In this post, we will install OpenCV on Raspberry Pi . Raspberry Pie doesn't have a GPU, so you don't need to set up acceleration with CUDA. Therefore, it is easiest to install a package that has already been created. But old version of Rasbian(Jessie) doesn't have python package. So you have to build the source code to install the OpenCV. And I'm going to install OpenCV 4.1.1 to DietPi. DietPi is a lightweight version of Debian. Prepare Rasbian Buster headless sd card image Prepare the image using Etcher. I used 2019-09-26-raspbian-buster-lite.zip image. Do not boot the Raspberry Pi immediately after creating the image, but create a size 0 ssh file on the / boot partition. The reason for this file is to make it a headless image. This allows remote ssh operations without having to connect a monitor to the Raspberry Pi. However, to get an IP address using dhcp, the network cable must be connected. <Create ssh file in the boot partition> Then run the...
