Motion tracking ROS node for Raspberry Pi + camera.
This project was tested on the raspbian distribution (Jessie) on the Raspberry Pi 2. Make sure the camera is enabled with
raspi-config
In order for this project to work, you'll need OpenCV and the raspicam library:
• Download the latest version of raspicam: http://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicam/
• unpack the .zip file
• in the extracted raspicam directory:
- mkdir build
- cd build
- cmake ..
- sudo make install
• for jessie, install the package libgl1-mesa-dri, otherwise you won't be able to open a window for openCV (GdkGLExt-WARNING **: Window system doesn't support OpenGL.)
• To disable the camera LED, add the line disable_camera_led=1 to the file /boot/config.txt (reboot neccessary)
