Video 49: Creating A Bouncing Box Overlay in OpenCV¶

In this Raspberry Pi tutorial sponsored by SunFounder, learn how to overlay a bouncing box on a camera feed, emphasizing the importance of planning and thinking like an engineer before coding.

  1. Explanation of the homework assignment: overlaying a bouncing box on a Raspberry Pi camera feed.

  2. Emphasis on planning before coding: stressing the importance of thinking like an engineer, sketching out the solution, and labeling key points.

  3. Step-by-step process: Demonstrating how to translate the sketch into code, defining variables for the box position, size, and movement, and handling edge cases for changing direction when hitting screen boundaries.

  4. Coding demonstration: Showing the implementation of the solution in Python using OpenCV.

  5. Testing and validation: Verifying the functionality by running the code and ensuring that the bouncing box behaves as expected on the camera feed.
