Live Camera Capture Project

This project is designed to capture live video streams from 4 different cameras, align them, and blend them together into a single seamless view.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV

Setup

1. Install Python 3.x if not already installed.
2. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install opencv-python numpy
   

Project Structure

• main.py: Main application that captures, warps, and blends camera feeds
• camera_utils.py: Utility functions for camera calibration and image blending
• calibration_tool.py: Tool for calibrating cameras using a chessboard pattern

Calibration

For best results, you should calibrate your cameras before creating a blended view:

1. Print a chessboard pattern (9x6 corners recommended)
2. Run the calibration tool:

   python calibration_tool.py
   

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to capture calibration images
4. The tool will generate calibration files for each camera

Running the Project

Run the main script to start capturing video streams:

python main.py

Controls

• Press 'q' to quit the application
