Look away! Still in dev
Simple threaded camera that doesn't need OpenCV. It is setup to use
picamera interface on the Raspberry Pi to grab images. If you are not using
a Raspberry Pi with the PiCamera, then you can't use this library.
Getting OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi historically is hard, but now
there is a pip library, so it is easier. However, if there
is some reason why you can't, don't, won't use that, this can
be used.
pip install -U numpy_camera
c = ThreadedCamera((640,480))
c.start() # starts internal loop
frame = c.read() # numpy array
c.stop() # stops internal loop
c.join() # gathers back up the thread
