This folder contains Python code that takes a picture from the attached Raspberry Pi camera and sends it to Google Cloud Vision API for annotation. The result is printed on the LCD screen connected to your Raspberry Pi.
To use this sample, you'll need to have the following:
- Raspberry Pi with Raspbian.
- RaspiCam-compatible camera.
- PiFace-compatible LCD screen.
- Google Cloud API JSON key that has access to Vision service. Point environment
variable
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
to the key file.
You need to install Python modules picamera
and pifacecad
to make the sample
work:
pip install picamera pifacecad
but it's easy to change the code to take a picture from some other source, and report a result in some other way without writing to an LCD screen, if you don't have one.
Enjoy!
