Chapter 2: Preparing the Raspberry Pi for Computer Vision
In the previous chapter, we learned the fundamentals of single-board computers, computer vision, and OpenCV. We learned the detailed specifications of the Raspberry Pi (RPi) 4B and the RPi Zero W. We also learned how to set up Raspbian OS on all the RPi boards models in detail.
In this chapter, we will learn how to prepare our RPi board for computer vision. Continuing from where we left off in the previous chapter, we will start by installing the OpenCV library for computer vision and the other necessary software for remotely accessing the desktop, as well as Command Prompt. We will learn how to transfer files between an RPi and a Windows PC. We will also learn how to exploit the computation power of the RPi by overclocking it and installing a heatsink on it to reduce the temperature of the processor.
The topics that we'll cover in this chapter are as follows:
- Remotely logging into the RPi with SSH
- Remote...
