    Understanding the connectivity of Raspberry Pi


    board with camera. Writing an application to
    capture and store the image.

    Problem Statement:-Understanding and connectivity of Raspberry-Pi /Beagle board with


    camera. Write an application to capture and store the image.

    Aim/Objectives:
     To understand the working of Raspberry Pi Camera
     To interface Raspberry Pi Camera with Raspberry Pi model
     To program the Raspberry Pi model to control the Raspberry Pi Camera Preview
     To program the Raspberry Pi model to capture still images from the Raspberry Pi
    Camera

    Software:
     Raspbian OS
     IDLE IDE

    Hardware Modules:
     Raspberry Pi Board module
     Pi-Camera module
     Monitor

    Theory:

     The Raspberry Pi Camera Board plugs directly into the CSI connector of the
    Raspberry Pi.
     It is able to deliver a crystal clear 5MP resolution image or 1080p HD video at the
    recording speed of 30 fps.
     This camera is designed and manufactured by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the UK.
     The Raspberry Pi Camera Board features a 5MP (2592×1944 pixels) Omni vision
    5647 sensor in a fixed focus module.
    31
     This module is attached to Raspberry Pi, by way of a 15 Pin Ribbon Cable, to the
    dedicated 15-pin MIPI Camera Serial Interface (CSI), which was designed 

    especially for interfacing to cameras.
     The CSI bus is capable of extremely high data rates, and it exclusively carries pixel
    data to the BCM2835 processor.
     The board itself is tiny, at around 25mm x 20mm x 9mm, and weighs just over 3g,
    making it perfect for mobile or other applications where size and weight are
    important.
     The sensor itself has a native resolution of 5 megapixels, and has a fixed focus lens
    onboard

    32
    In terms of still images, the camera is capable of 2592 x 1944 pixel static images, and also
    supports 1080p @ 30fps, 720p @ 60fps and 640x480p 60/90 video recording.
     The camera is supported in the latest version of Raspbian, the Raspberry Pi’s preferred
    operating system.

    Safety precautions:
     Raspberry-Pi provides 3.3V and 5V VCC pins
     Raspberry-Pi operates on 3.3V.
     Various sensors and actuators operate on different voltages.
     Read datasheet of a given sensor or an actuator and then use appropriate
    VCC pin to connect a sensor or an actuator.
     Ensure that signal voltage coming to the Raspberry-Pi from any sensor or actuator
    does not exceed 3.3V.
     If signal/data coming to Raspberry-Pi is greater than 3.3V then use voltage
    level shifter module to decrease the incoming voltage.
     The Raspberry-Pi is a costly device, hence you should show the circuit
    connections to your instructor before starting your experiment.

    Interface diagram:

    Procedure:
     First of all, switch off the Raspberry Pi board and connect the Camera
    Module to the Raspberry Pi’s camera port.
     Then start the Raspberry Pi
     Now we have to ensure that the Camera software is enabled.
     For this, open the Raspberry Pi Configuration Tool from the main menu as shown
    in the fig. below.

    33
     Now click on Interfaces
     Here the first option is Camera. Ensure that the ‘Enabled’ button is clicked.
     If not then click the ‘Enabled’ and again Reboot the Raspberry Pi module.
     Now write the program as per the algorithm given.
     Run code using Run module.

    Algorithm:
     To program the Raspberry Pi model to control the Raspberry Pi Camera Preview:

    o Import Picamera library


    o Import time library
    o Create a variable(instance) of PiCamera class
    o Display the camera preview on screen using the command “start_preview()”.
    o We can define 10 second delay to see the camera preview.
    o To stop camera preview after 10 second, use the command “stop_preview()”.

     To program the Raspberry Pi model to capture still images from the Raspberry Pi
    Camera
    34
    o Import picamera library
    o Import time library
    o Create a variable(instance) of PiCamera class
    o Display the camera preview on screen using start_preview().
    o We can define 5 second delay to see the camera preview.
    o Capture the image using camera.capture(‘path of the image. extension’)
    o Then stop the camera preview using the command “stop_preview()”.

    Observation:
     Observe the output on Display screen of raspberry pi desktop for camera preview,
    captured images and recorded videos.
     To play the video type following command in terminal
    window: omxplayer video.h264
     Then press ENTER.
