Yeah, that's why I've been looking for decent alternatives. I'm just doing still/frame captures with minimal processing at the moment, but I think I can get better cam control vs fswebcam or bit-bashing ffmpeg. Also I've found a couple decent code samples to start hacking

Down the road, maybe something more involved. This probably won't be my only camera build.

I don't have the time to do it, but it would be super cool to hook up something to a drone and be able to fly over an area and have it be able to count all the people, cars, trucks on the ground in real time. I'm sure it could be done with the processing power of a Raspberry Pi

Probably. You don't need terribly hi fidelity for that. The NanoPi I'm using rn is probably short on specs, but something like a 3B+ or a 4 should be good. If not, there are AI/VPU Tensor hats out there to offload a lot of the image processing.

I have a Google AIY Vision hat around here somewhere but got distracted before I got away from the demos. The included libraries/scripts can do 'emotion detection' fairly accurately on a Pi Zero

Holy shit! So it could look at someone's face and determine their emotional state? I wonder if you could hook up an infrared camera and be able to determine if someone is lying, etc. based on heat sensors, etc.

If IR were your primary camera, it's all down to training the models. Vision + IR you'd probably want to use an IR thermometer that gives back an absolute number to compare against.
^ download or train your own models. Everything is onboard so an internet connection isn't needed
