Week #10: Make-through

• Download and use a python friendly IDE and for me it was thonny IDE

• Download the Required Computer Vision libraries, numpy through the following lines in the terminal

sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libhdf5-100

sudo apt-get install libqtgui4 libqtwebkit4 libqt4-test

sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev

sudo apt-get install libjasper-dev

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

sudo python3 get-pip.py

sudo pip3 install opencv-contrib-python

sudo pip3 install opencv-python

• for the coding process i have used the default haar cascade example and built upon it in order to add the RPI control

• For the assignment i have used the servo motor to actuate with the movement of my face with a specific angle

• i have started calling a specific arrays from raspberry pi libraries like PiRGBArray, Pi Camera and then the usual import libs like time,cv2 and the RPI connected camera for sure

• the next step was to set the resolution of the RPI camera and its frame rate per second and initiate a raw capture and it is a function to start the RPI camera

• the i have called the haar cascade example which it is haarcascade frontal face default

• then i have started setting the GPIO mode of the raspberry pi whether it is gpio board or BCM

then i have set the setup of the GPIO and i was using a servo motor so the GPIO setup will be an output then i have used the GPIO.PWM to send a pwm signal to the servo motor and the servo.start is the set the minimum angle of the servo which it is 0 angle

The problems i have encountered in this assignment was that the SERVO was not working but i solved the issue trough changing the GPIO Pin in the Code
