mediapipe will work with any USB webcam... the AI camera won't get any advantage
The mediapipe pip package depends on numpy 1.46, but the latest opencv wants numpy 2.x
The solution for this is:
* create new venv
* pip install mediapipe
* pip install opencv-python==4.11.0.86
^ That installation works in x86 and aarch64
It runs perfectly in Linux Mint x86_64, but not in in my raspberry pi Bookworm+Labwc
Can you try that?
In my case, openCV can't open a viewing window, and I suspect it is from labwc+wayland (qt, xcb stuff). The raspberry+mediapipe examples I saw are not showing they use X11 or wayland.
