Serin

Transfer files with an air swipe

Transfers files from a PC to another when hand is moved from first PC to another. Works on computer vision using webcams networking.

###Dependencies

• Python 2.7.*
• Numpy
• OpenCV Python : See setup instructions here.

###Setting up

• Make sure the computers are connected to a network
• Start the server.py script at any one of the networked PC
• OPTIONAL : Tune the minimum and maximum HSV values in serin.py to filter out skin color. Use the included hsv_filter.py
• Start serin.py
• Fill in your server's ip in the window that pops up (for localhost leave it blank or fill 127.0.0.1) and submit

###Using

• Move hand in air either left or right.
• If no one is sending files then a prompt will ask you to choose the file.
• Do the same gesture at receiver's end and file will be transferred. (File transfer speed depends entirely on the network speed)

###Working

• The image is converted from BGR to HSV Space for better filtering.
• Using specific HSV range, skin is filtered out and binarized.
• Morphological transformations enhances the chances of detection of hand as compared to face.
• Contours are searched and a contour with a minimum threshold area is worked on. The centroid of it gives the position of hand, which then is tracked.
