Utilización de la minicomputadora raspberry pi con capacidad de comunicación wi-fi para la captura de imágenes mediante cámara y almacenamiento de información en base de datos externa

Abstract

This research paper is about the development of a prototype using the raspberry pi minicomputer with Wi-Fi communication capability applied to capture images using a digital camera to transfer information to a client computer, where it will be stored. The design phase of the prototype was conducted a thorough investigation of the raspberry pi, i.e. technical characteristics and limitations, taking into account both hardware (peripherals, accessories and interfaces) and software (operating systems and programming language applicable). During the implementation phase, the development team established the procedures to capture images with the selected digital camera, the configuration of the wireless communication with another computer and the transferring of images to another computer. The validation of the prototype was performed by comprehensive tests showing that the implemented system has the capacity to capture, process, and send images to an external computer. The design and implementation presented is supported with the respective theoretical framework and documented with diagrams, photographs and tests.
