At this point in the journey, I will be building opencv from source.
Upon successful completion, I will:
- Test Darknet
- Test OpenVINO demos
- Clean files/add additional
- Release
Installing OpenCV 4.4.0 on Pi4 with 4Gb
- dphys-swapfile 4096 maxswap
- rpi-eeprom-update check… -a if needed
- config.txt gpu mem=128
- Depends – then to “dirty work (github)
- wget opencv
- wget opencv_contrib
- extract
- mv opencv-4.4.0 opencv_contrib-4.4.0 to opencv/
- mkdir build
- cmake ..
- make -j4
- finish up – make install ldconfig make clean apt update
- confirm opencv version – python3 cv2__version__
