We download OpenCV source code and build it on our Raspberry Pi 3. It will take approximately 2 hours!

After the installation we calibrate our Raspberry Pi camera using a chess board and following the procedure stated on the official OpenCV documentation.

On my Github you can find a opencv folder, where I put:
- a Readme, for the camera calibration process
- a step by step procedure for the installation
- save_snapshots.py for conveniently save the stills with the Pi Camera
- cameracalib.py, for calibrating the camera (derived from the official one)
