Install OpenCV 4.4 on Raspberry Pi

 I often work with OpenCV in Raspberry Pi or the Jetson series. In the NVidia Jetson series, OpenCV is optimized and comes with the Jetpack installation. As a result, you do not need to install OpenCV separately.

However, because Raspberry Pi OS is not installed with OpenCV, users must install it themselves. Unlike the Jetson series, Raspberry Pi has no GPU to use Cuda. The Mali GPU, used by Raspberry Pi, is used only for graphics and is difficult to use in OpenCV to speed up the OpenCV processing speed. Therefore, OpenCV used by Raspberry Pi does not require special optimization. Therefore, it is less necessary to build and use the source code. The case of building the source code is probably when you need the latest version of OpenCV. If you want to use an already verified version rather than the latest version, you can easily install it by following the steps below.


Install Raspberry Pi OS on the Rpi4B

I will use Raspberry Pi 4 B+ 2GB memory model and the OS will use Raspberry Pi OS. There are three types of OS in the picture below, one of which is "Raspberry Pi OS with desktop."

The OS installation method is omitted because there are numerous web documents or YouTube videos. After installing the OS, make sure to set up Ethernet or WiFi so that you can connect to the Internet.


Install necessary modules and OpenCV

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential cmake pkg-config
sudo apt-get install -y libjpeg-dev libtiff5-dev libjasper-dev libpng12-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libv4l-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev  libgtk2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev  libatlas-base-dev gfortran

sudo apt-get install -y openexr libqtgui4 libqt4-test
sudo apt-get install -y python3-dev python3-pip
sudo  pip3 install opencv-python
 


Now verify that it is installed correctly.

root@raspberrypi:~# python3
Python 3.7.3 (default, Jul 25 2020, 13:03:44) 
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import cv2
>>> import numpy as np
>>> cv2.__version__
'4.4.0'

You can check that OpenCV and numpy are installed without any problems. 


Wrapping up

As of December 2020, the OpenCV version, which can be installed using the pip command, is 4.40. Perhaps this version value will continue to be updated.

You can download the source codes here( https://github.com/raspberry-pi-maker/OpenCV ) Basic text output using putText putText function Draws a text string. Python: cv2. putText ( img, text, org, fontFace, fontScale, color [ , thickness [ , lineType [ , bottomLeftOrigin ] ] ] ) → None Python: cv. PutText ( img, text, org, font, color ) → None Parameters: img – Image. text – Text string to be drawn. org – Bottom-left corner of the text string in the image. font – CvFont structure initialized using InitFont() . fontFace – Font type. One of FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX , FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN , FONT_HERSHEY_DUPLEX , FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX , FONT_HERSHEY_TRIPLEX , FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX_SMALL , FONT_HERSHEY_SCRIPT_SIMPLEX , or FONT_HERSHEY_SCRIPT_COMPLEX , where each of the font ID’s can be combined with FONT_ITALIC to get the slanted letters. fontScale – Font scale factor that is multiplied by the font-specific base size. color – Text color. thickness – Th...

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...
