😍 Features

  • 📹 camera live preview with shortest delay as possible, permanent video live view in background
  • ⚡️ optimized for speed, live stream hardware accelerated on rpi, cpu load < 20%
  • 🫶 several camera backends supported for high quality stills and livestream
  • 💡 WLED support signaling photo countdown and feedback to the user when the photo is actually taken
  • 🤝 Linux 🐧, Raspberry Pi 🍓 and Windows 🪟 platforms supported

📷 Supported Cameras

The photobooth app's Python backend allows to use different camera types on Linux and Windows platforms:

  • Raspberry Pi Camera Module 1/2/3 (with or without autofocus)
  • Arducam cameras (with or without autofocus)
  • DSLR camera via
    • gphoto2, Linux
    • digicamcontrol, Windows (not yet implemented)
  • webcams (via opencv2 or v4l)

The app controls camera's autofocus, handles led signaling when a photo is taken and streams live video to photobooth.

The reference photobooth box is made from 3d printed parts, see the 3d printed reference box over here.

🛫 Speed Optimized

The photobooth app uses libraries optimized for speed. Even a Raspberry Pi 3B+ is fine to use. Typically the photobooth app takes following times to process data:

Task RPI 3B+ RPI 4B Intel i7
CPU load with picamera2 livestream and display ~20% ~20% <1%
Postprocess: scale images for preview <500ms <350ms <30ms
Postprocess: Stage "Remove Greenscreen" 130ms 90ms 20ms
Postprocess: Stage "Add Text" n/a n/a n/a
Postprocess: Stage "Apply Instagram-Like Filter" n/a <80ms <30ms

🔧 Installation

See separate installation instructions in the documentation.

The photobooth app can be used standalone but is not feature complete yet. Anyway, it integrates well with the fully blown photobooth project, see description how to achieve integration.
