Dependencies

This project has 3 dependencies:

1. Raspberry Pi Camera — camera device especially for Raspberry Pi. Don't forget to turn it on in the raspi-config!
2. raspicam — allows to grab image from Raspberry Pi Camera. It comes as a git submodule
3. libjpeg-turbo — allows working with JPEG data. I am using it to compress raw data from camera to JPEG encoded image. This one you should install with sudo apt install libturbojpeg0-dev
