I have two camera connected to RPi (1 USB camera and 1 RPi camera). I need to capture both images to do some processing on them right after image capture
I have this code:
file1 = 'imagecapture' + '_view1.png'
file2 = 'imagecapture' + '_view2.png'
p1 = subprocess.Popen(
"sudo raspistill -t 1500 -o {} -w 1920 -h 1080".format(file1), shell=True)
p2 = subprocess.Popen(
"fswebcam -S 20 --resolution 1920x1080 --rotate -90 --device /dev/video1 {}".format(file2), shell=True)
p1.wait()
p2.wait()
time.sleep(0.2)
GPIO.cleanup()
The sleep
I have added to make sure that image is captured and saved in the directory before I read it again and so some processing (I tested it and 2 seconds is sufficient).
This whole process takes 7-8 seconds. How can I make it even quicker? Is it possible to make it 3-4 seconds total (basically 1-2 seconds for image capture)?
