Images, Video, and Audio
Derek Molloy · 2016
In this chapter, peripherals are attached to the RPi so that it can be used for capturing image, video, and audio data using low-level Linux drivers and application programming interfaces (APIs). It describes Linux applications and tools that can be used to stream captured video and audio data to the Internet. Open Source Computer Vision (OpenCV) image processing and computer vision approaches are investigated that enable the Raspberry Pi (RPi) to draw inferences from the information content of the captured image data. Capture and playback of audio streams is described, along with the use of Bluetooth A2DP audio. The chapter also covers some applications of audio on the RPi, including streaming audio, Internet radio, and text-to-speech.
