Connect to GoPro camera #2

The practical setup should use a GoPro camera instead of a low-resolution webcam. The task consists of first getting the GoPro connected as a webcam on the computer to confirm its connectivity. The second task is to create a CameraInfo object with the GoPro's properties so that the program can use it.

The current problem is in getting the GoPro connected as a webcam because the computer's HDMI port is output and cannot be used as an input. An HDMI-to-USB converter is required to convert the HDMI-output from the GoPro to a USB-input that the computer can use.

The GoPro can now be used in the program. The information and radial distortion have not been added yet. Another problem with the GoPro is the delay and update time, resulting from an increased frame resolution. An idea to overcome this is only to use the full-frame in every 10 or so detections. The rest of the frames will be used on smaller subsets of the image, in which a robot is in each of them. The full image will then only be used to see whether new robots have appeared.
