Webcam Interface On Raspberry Pi

                        Raspberry PI persists in its pride stage due to its relevance in performing image processing applications. Real time image processing schemes can be developed using a Raspberry Pi, as it supports the webcam interface, and there by we can process the algorithms for detection, recognition, segmentation, surveillance etc.
Hardware Modules:
  1. Raspberry Pi
  2. USB Webcam
Additional Software Packages:
  1. fswebcam package
The webcam should be connected to the USB port of the Raspberry Pi. after connecting open the LX Terminal and type inlsusb.


If the camera is detected then a message will be displayed, as shown in the image above (marked in red). Now install fswebcamto start using the camera. To install the fswebcam software package, type in as follows:

sudo apt-get install fswebcam


 After the installation enter the command fswebcam followed with a desired file name for saving the image.

fswebcam testimage.jpg


  For selecting a proper resolution follow the commands given below:

fswebcam -r 640x480 testimage.jpg

  The camera will capture the snapshot and it will be saved in the main folder using the preferred name.

K-Rotate

K-Rotate Given an integer vector and a value k, your task is to rotate the array k times clockwise. Input Format In the function an integer vector and number k is passed. Output Format Return an integer vector. Sample Input { 8, 2, 5, 7, 6}, x = 2 Sample Output { 7,6,8,2,5} Explanation After 1st rotation - { 7,6,8,2,5} After 2nd rotation - { 7,6,8,2,5} Program - #include <iostream> #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std ; vector < int > kRotate ( vector < int > a , int k ){     // Using second vector (array) solution         int l = a . size ();     k = k % l ;     vector < int > out ;     for ( int i = l - k ; i < l ; i ++){         out . push_back ( a [ i ] );     }         for ( int i = 0 ; i < l - k ; i ++){         out . push_back ( a [ i ] );     }     return out ; } vector ...

THINGS USED IN THIS PROJECT Hardware components: 1.Raspberry Pi Zero 2. Humidity and Temperature Sensor 3.TSL2561 Digital Luminosity/Lux/Light Sensor     Breakout 4.Microphone Amplifier - MAX4466 with   Adjustable Gain 5.MPL3115A2 - I2C Barometric      Pressure/Altitude/Temperature Sensor 6.MCP3008 - 8-Channel 10-Bit ADC With SPI Interface Software apps Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Project Description The goal is to build a small and easy to use device to monitor temperature, humidity, noise levels, luminosity and atmospheric pressure. The  idea is to have multiple devices spread across the city to send environmental data to the AWS IoT platform for processing and analysis. With this real time data , new public services could be offered, for example: Trigger alarms in case of dangerous measurements detected Finding out the less polluted places in the city at a given time: parks, squares or any public outdoors...
