LiveCamShapeDetection

Presenting my first project in computer vision which is live came shape detection. In following task was to make the robotic arm recognize the shape and sort the shape additional task was to make robot voice controlled.

1. We need to install 'NOOBS' in the raspberry pi i) Download 'NOOBS' And extract contents in SD card ii)Begin the installation and wait till setup is complete

2. Now we need to install opencv libraries for python For installing opencv follow these steps: In terminal : a)use commands 1)sudo apt-get install python-opencv 2)sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib 3)sudo apt-get install python-scipy 4)sudo apt-get install ipython

NOTE:- To TEST, just type python in Terminal and fire import cv2 and hit enter, if it executes perfectly then opencv2 is installed correctly. or Run install.sh file with command - bash install.sh (this willinstall all files that you need.

b)Also you can use traditional method
		1. Generic Stuff
					sudo apt-get update
					sudo apt-get upgrade
					sudo rpi-update
					sudo reboot
					sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake pkg-config
					sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libtiff5-dev libjasper-dev libpng12-dev
					sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libv4l-dev
					sudo apt-get install libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev
					sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
					sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev gfortran
					cd ~
					git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git
					cd opencv
					git checkout 3.1.0
					cd ~
					git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib.git
					cd opencv_contrib
					git checkout 3.1.0

		2. For python 2.X
					sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev
					wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
					sudo python get-pip.py
					pip install numpy
					cd ~/opencv
					mkdir build
					cd build
					cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
						-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
						-D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF \
						-D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
						-D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules \
						-D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..
					make -j4
					sudo make install
					sudo ldconfig

		2.1 For python 3:
					sudo apt-get install python3-dev
					wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
					sudo python3 get-pip.py
					pip install numpy
					cd ~/opencv
					mkdir build
					cd build
					cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
					    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
					    -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF \
					    -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
					    -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules \
					    -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..
					make -j4
					sudo make install
					sudo ldconfig

NOTE :- Shell file is made only for python 2.x. For traditional installation run shell file named - install_opencv_2.sh In The Project we are using python 2.4.13 because there is very Less support for python 3.x
