Install OpenCV 4 on Raspberry Pi


Install OpenCV on Raspberry Pi
In this post, we will provide a bash script for installing OpenCV-4.0 (C++, Python 2.7 and Python 3.5) on Raspbian Operating System on Raspberry Pi. We will also briefly study the script to understand what’s going in it.
Note that this script takes around 3 times more on Raspberry Pi 2 as compared to Raspberry Pi 3.
If you are still not able to install OpenCV on your system, but want to get started with it, we suggest using our docker images with pre-installed OpenCV, Dlib, miniconda and jupyter notebooks along with other dependencies as described in this blog.

Step 0: Select OpenCV version to install

First let’s prepare the system for the installation.

sudo apt-get -y purge wolfram-engine
sudo apt-get -y purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get -y clean
sudo apt-get -y autoremove

echo "OpenCV installation by learnOpenCV.com"
 
cvVersion="masrer"
We are also going to clean build directories and create installation directory.

# Clean build directories
rm -rf opencv/build
rm -rf opencv_contrib/build

# Create directory for installation
mkdir installation
mkdir installation/OpenCV-"$cvVersion"
Finally, we will be storing the current working directory in cwd variable. We are also going to refer to this directory as OpenCV_Home_Dir throughout this blog.

# Save current working directory
cwd=$(pwd)

Step 1: Update Packages

3
sudo apt-get -y install python3-dev python3-pip
sudo -H pip3 install -U pip numpy
sudo apt-get -y install python3-testresources
We are also going to install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper modules to create Python virtual environments.

cd $cwd
# Install virtual environment
python3 -m venv OpenCV-"$cvVersion"-py3
echo "# Virtual Environment Wrapper" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "alias workoncv-$cvVersion=\"source $cwd/OpenCV-$cvVersion-py3/bin/activate\"" >> ~/.bashrc
source "$cwd"/OpenCV-"$cvVersion"-py3/bin/activate
#############
Next, we create the Python virtual environment.

############ For Python 3 ############
# now install python libraries within this virtual environment
sudo sed -i 's/CONF_SWAPSIZE=100/CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024/g' /etc/dphys-swapfile
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start
pip install numpy dlib
# quit virtual environment
deactivate

Step 4: Download opencv and opencv_contrib

git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git
cd opencv
git checkout $cvVersion
cd ..
 
git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib.git
cd opencv_contrib
git checkout $cvVersion
cd ..

Step 5: Compile and install OpenCV with contrib modules

First we navigate to the build directory.

cd opencv
mkdir build
cd build
Next, we start the compilation and installation process.

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
            -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$cwd/installation/OpenCV-"$cvVersion" \
            -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON \
            -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
            -D WITH_TBB=ON \
            -D WITH_V4L=ON \
            -D OPENCV_PYTHON3_INSTALL_PATH=$cwd/OpenCV-$cvVersion-py3/lib/python3.5/site-packages \
        -D WITH_QT=ON \
        -D WITH_OPENGL=ON \
        -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../../opencv_contrib/modules \
        -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..
For system wide installation of OpenCV, change CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \.

make -j$(nproc)
make install

Step 6: Reset swap file

Once we are done with installing heavy Python modules like Numpy, it’s time to reset the swap file.

sudo sed -i 's/CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024/CONF_SWAPSIZE=100/g' /etc/dphys-swapfile
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start
Finally, we also need to add a simple statement to make sure that VideoCapture(0) works on our Raspberry Pi.

echo "sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2" >> ~/.profile

How to use OpenCV in C++

There are two ways to use OpenCV in C++, the preferred way is to use CMake, the other one being command line compilation using g++. We will have a look at both ways.
Using CMakeLists.txt
The basic structure of your CMakeLists.txt will stay the same. Only difference being, that you will have to set OpenCV_DIR as shown below.
1
2
3
4
5
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)
# Enable C++11
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET(OpenCV_DIR <OpenCV_Home_Dir>/installation/OpenCV-master/lib/cmake/opencv4)
Make sure that you replace OpenCV_Home_Dir with correct path. For example, in my case:
1
SET(OpenCV_DIR /home/hp/OpenCV_installation/installation/OpenCV-master/lib/cmake/opencv4)
Once you have made your CMakeLists.txt, follow the steps given below.
1
2
3
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release
This will generate your executable file in build directory.
Using g++
To compile a sample file (let’s say my_sample_file.cpp), use the following command.
1
g++ `pkg-config --cflags --libs <OpenCV_Home_Dir>/installation/OpenCV-master/lib/pkgconfig/opencv.pc` my_sample_file.cpp -o my_sample_file

How to use OpenCV in Python

To use the OpenCV version installed using Python script, first we activate the correct Python Virtual Environment.
For OpenCV-master : Python 3
1
workon OpenCV-master-py3
Once you have activated the virtual environment, you can enter Python shell and test OpenCV version.

3
ipython
import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)
Hope this script proves to be useful for you :). Stay tuned for more interesting stuff. In case of any queries, feel free to comment below and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

OpenPose가 작동되는 신경망 아키텍처는 다음과 같다. 1. 좌측단의 입력 데이터를 VGGNet - 19 ​ 를 통해 수행된 Output 데이터의 특징(feature)을 강조한 상태로 출력하게 된다. ​ 2. 1번에서 출력된 Output을 2번의 분기를 통해 전파를 수행하게 되는데, 첫 번째 분기점에서는 전반적인 신체 부위의 특정(팔꿈치, 무릎 등)에 사용된다. ​ 3. 반복되는 Stage에 따라 가지를 거쳐서 confidence map 과 affinity field 를 구하게 되는데, 여기서 confidence map 은 인간의 관절 구조 등을 찾는데 사용되며, affinity field 는 추출된 관절 구조가 어떤 객체의 것인가에 대해 알아는데 사용된다. ​ 예를 들어
