Code
```python
import picamera
# Create a camera object
camera = picamera.Camera()
# Set the camera resolution and format
camera.resolution = (4056, 3040)

camera.format = 'h264'
@app.route('/')
def index():
    return '''
        <html>
            <head>
                <title>Raspberry Pi Camera Stream</title>

        </html>
    '''
@app.route('/stream')
def stream():
    return Response(gen(camera), mimetype='multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=frame')
def gen(camera):
    while True:
        frame = camera.capture(format='bgr')
        yield b'--frame
Content-Type: image/jpeg

' + frame.tobytes() + b'
'
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)
```
Example 3: Object Detection using OpenCV
This example demonstrates how to use the camera module in conjunction with OpenCV to detect objects in real-time.
Code
```python
import cv2
import picamera
# Create a camera object
camera = picamera.Camera()
# Create an OpenCV window
cv2.namedWindow('Object Detection', cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL)
while True:
    # Capture an image from the camera
    image = camera.capture(format='bgr')
# Convert the image to grayscale
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# Apply object detection using OpenCV
    CascadeClassifier = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
    faces = CascadeClassifier.detectMultiScale(gray, scaleFactor=1.1, minNeighbors=5)
# Draw rectangles around detected objects
    for (x, y, w, h) in faces:
        cv2.rectangle(image, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
# Display the output
    cv2.imshow('Object Detection', image)
# Exit on key press
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break
# Close the OpenCV window and camera object
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
camera.close()
```
