Demo:

Things Required:

1. Jetson Nano
2. Keyboard
3. Mouse
4. HDMI Screen
5. Raspberry Pi Camera
6. External Power Supply

Reference Material:

1. To install OpenCV: (LINK)
2. To start off with the Camera: (LINK)

Code:

I’ve coded it all in python!

import cv2
dispW=640
dispH=480
flip=2
camSet='nvarguscamerasrc !  video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=3264, height=2464, format=NV12, framerate=21/1 ! nvvidconv flip-method='+str(flip)+' ! video/x-raw, width='+str(dispW)+', height='+str(dispH)+', format=BGRx ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw, format=BGR ! appsink'
cam=cv2.VideoCapture(camSet)
while True:
    ret,frame=cam.read()
    cv2.imshow('PiCam',frame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1)==ord('q'):
        break
cam.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
