Digital optics revolution has reached a point where you can buy cheap digital webcamera ranged from less than 9 euros. In rupiah it should be less than 100.000 Rupiahs. Anyway this webcamera is the most important part in the image processing with opencv which is covered in this blog. Make sure you don't buy a cheap one. Cheap buy is expensive buy. Make sure you buy a fine one, a bit pricey is not a big deal as long as it has good capabilities. In your laptop probably you have also an integrated webcamera. Mostly it sucks. So make sure you have a decent one. I personally am using a cheap webcam from Genius. It was around 100.000 rupiah when I bought it. But it is way much better than my laptop webcam. My webcam is not the best webcam available out there. But it is good enough (for begineer projects especially).
