Yep - I guess for a first PoC this is sufficient. However, there could be potential issues with how these libraries access the CSI camera (raspistill, gstreamer etc).
For the future, the adapter needs to account for the potential heterogeneity in hardware/node setup. > Am 06.03.2020 um 10:56 schrieb Philipp Zehnder <[email protected]>: > > Hi Patrick, > > this is a very interesting idea. > I thought about this before and I found a cool library which we could > possibly use to connect cameras [1] > > It seems that they support different operating systems, further they have > multiple drivers (e.g. GStreamer). > I tried to run an example locally, but it did not work on my computer yet. > But maybe we should test it directly on a Pi. > > > [1] https://github.com/sarxos/webcam-capture > <https://github.com/sarxos/webcam-capture> > > >> On 6.
