# Kernel Filtering Example
#
# This example shows off how to use a generic kernel filter.

import csi
import time

csi0 = csi.CSI()
csi0.reset()  # Initialize the camera sensor.
csi0.pixformat(csi.GRAYSCALE)  # or csi.RGB565
csi0.framesize(csi.QVGA)  # or csi.QQVGA (or others)
csi0.snapshot(time=2000)  # Let new settings take affect.

clock = time.clock()  # Tracks FPS.

kernel_size = 1  # 3x3==1, 5x5==2, 7x7==3, etc.

kernel = [-2, -1, 0, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2]

while True:
    clock.tick()  # Track elapsed milliseconds between snapshots().
    img = csi0.snapshot()  # Take a picture and return the image.

    # Run the kernel on every pixel of the image.
    img.morph(kernel_size, kernel)

    print(clock.fps())  # Note: Your OpenMV Cam runs about half as fast while
    # connected to your computer. The FPS should increase once disconnected.
