In this chapter, we will be getting started on interfacing a USB camera with a BeagleBone board and capturing images from the camera using OpenCV. We will start by installing OpenCV first and then move ahead with capturing images using OpenCV and Python.
We will look deeply into the topics given in this chapter:
Prerequisites
Adding a USB camera to BeagleBone Black
An introduction to OpenCV
Using Python and OpenCV together
Image capture from a camera using Python and OpenCV
