Object Detection in OpenCV

[TheHungrySlav]

Hello, I am attempting to use OpenCV to detect objects on a live Lepton feed. The problem is I do not know which Lepton files to import to my Python code. How can I implement this?

I created the v4l2lepton module (source in this repository) several years back to allow the Lepton 2 to show up as a standard v4l2 webcam that OpenCV can interact with.

I haven't done any maintenance on this for some time but others have made some minor contributions. I don't think it was ever updated for use with Lepton 3 but it may not be too hard.

Otherwise, you would need to use some code that pulls frames from your Lepton and feed them into OpenCV as standard image formats.
