Hackathon feedback: use of Raspi camera #88
Description
During a hackathon, some teams wanted to use more from the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, such as the Raspberry Pi camera, using OpenCV for gesture recognition.
Unfortunately, the Leda Quickstart image is tailored in a way that it doesn't let the user simply use the Raspberry PI ecosystem, e.g. a GUI is missing, the drivers are missing, the native python installation is crippled, apt-get is missing etc.
All that would have to be containerized before it can be deployed to Leda - which is our goal anyway, as we want to stay "as near as possible" to how it would be on a production-series vehicle. It is very unlikely to have "apt-get" & co available on a production car.
Nonetheless, for hackathons and POCs, it would be great if Leda can deploy a "Raspberry Pi Tools" container, so that the ecosystem can be easily used: Hook up the Raspberry Pi camera, deploy the "Raspi Tools" container and the camera is up and running, feeding the data to the clients.
Notes:
- (Getting started with PiCamera)[https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/getting-started-with-picamera]
- libcamera-hello
- leda-raspi-camera-container should be able to: take still picture on request, record video sequence on request, start/stop sending video stream to multiple clients (via CycloneDDS, Iceoryx, ROS, ...?)
