Overview of this book

Raspberry Pi is one of the popular single-board computers of our generation. All the major image processing and computer vision algorithms and operations can be implemented easily with OpenCV on Raspberry Pi. This updated second edition is packed with cutting-edge examples and new topics, and covers the latest versions of key technologies such as Python 3, Raspberry Pi, and OpenCV. This book will equip you with the skills required to successfully design and implement your own OpenCV, Raspberry Pi, and Python-based computer vision projects. At the start, you'll learn the basics of Python 3, and the fundamentals of single-board computers and NumPy. Next, you'll discover how to install OpenCV 4 for Python 3 on Raspberry Pi, before covering major techniques and algorithms in image processing, manipulation, and computer vision. By working through the steps in each chapter, you'll understand essential OpenCV features. Later sections will take you through creating graphical user interface (GUI) apps with GPIO and OpenCV. You'll also learn to use the new computer vision library, Mahotas, to perform various image processing operations. Finally, you'll explore the Jupyter Notebook and how to set up a Windows computer and Ubuntu for computer vision. By the end of this book, you'll be able to confidently build and deploy computer vision apps.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Computer Vision and the Raspberry Pi

OpenCV is a simple and powerful programming framework for computer vision. It is preferred by both novices and experts in the field of computer vision. We can easily learn computer vision by writing OpenCV programs using Python 3 as the programming language. The Raspberry Pi family of single-board computers uses Python as its preferred development language. Using a Raspberry Pi board and Python 3 for learning OpenCV programming is one of the best approaches that we can follow to commence our wonderful journey into the amazing field of computer vision programming. In this chapter, you will become familiar with all of the important concepts that you need in order to get started with the Raspberry Pi and computer vision. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to set up the Raspbian Operating System (OS) on various Raspberry Pi board models. You will also learn how to connect the boards to the internet.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding computer vision
  • Single-board computers
  • The Raspberry Pi family of single-board computers
  • Setting up the Raspbian OS on a Raspberry Pi
  • Connecting various Pi board models to the internet with LAN or Wi-Fi

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to set up your own Raspberry Pi board.
