This chapter was just a start for you get to know what open OpenCV is, to set it up on BeagleBone Black and to understand a little bit of what you can do with it using Python by writing just a few lines of code. In this chapter, the image capture project is just a simple thing we did – you can play around and do a lot more like capturing videos and saving them, changing a color image to black and white, and other image processing using OpenCV and Python. Now we know how to click a picture and save it.

In the next chapter, we will build a home security application project using a sensor to detect motion and click a picture whenever a motion is detected. In this way, we will be building a real-time application using OpenCV, BeagleBone Black and Python where the system will interact with the physical world.
