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.
