You'll need to install OpenCV, a complete vision library that provides an amazing array of tools for you to capture, process, and save your images. First, you'll need to download a set of libraries and OpenCV itself. There are several possible steps; I'm going to suggest one that I follow to install it on my systems. Once you have booted the system and opened a Terminal window, type the following commands in this order:
- sudo apt-get update: If you haven't done this in a while, it is a good idea to do this now before you start. You're going to be downloading a number of new software packages, so it is good to make sure everything is up to date.
- sudo apt-get install libavformat-dev: This library provides a way to code and decode audio and video streams.
- sudo apt-get install python-opencv...
