Air Drawing App Using Computer Vision Presentation

The Air Drawing App utilizes computer vision to enable users to draw using simple hand gestures and a colored object, making digital creation accessible for individuals with motor issues and those lacking traditional input devices. Built with Python, OpenCV, and NumPy, the app captures video from a webcam, detects colors, and allows real-time drawing on a virtual canvas. Its applications include serving as a drawing tool for children, providing touch-free interfaces for public kiosks, and assisting individuals with motor impairments.

Title: Air Drawing App

using Computer Vision


Subtitle: Statement Code: CV-06
Compiler : Jupiter note book.
Tools Used: Python, OpenCV, NumPy
The Problem: Limited Digital Creation
Not Accessible for No Access to Input Need for Touch-
All Devices Free Interfaces
People with motor issues struggle Many users lack tools like stylus Touch-based tools can spread
with traditional input methods. or touchscreens for digital germs in shared spaces.
Solution: Enables drawing drawing. Solution: Offers safe,
through simple hand gestures. Solution: Draw using just a contactless drawing interaction.
webcam and a colored object.
Tools & Technologies
• Python
• OpenCV
• NumPy
• Webcam / Laptop Camera
• Jupiter Notebook

Detect colored object (e.g., Blue pen cap)

Track its movement using contours

Draw a line between previous and current positions

Show live drawing on screen

1.Introduction & Objective
Virtual Paint Using Color Detection
• The program uses a webcam and OpenCV to track a colored object in real-time.
• The object acts like a brush to draw on a virtual canvas.
• It supports multiple colors: Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow.
• You can also switch colors or clear the canvas using on-screen buttons.

2.Setting Up the Interface


Trackbars & Canvas Setup
• cv2.createTrackbar() creates sliders to set HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color range for
object detection.
• paintWindow: A white canvas where drawing happens.
• Colored rectangles at the top of the screen act as buttons (Clear, Blue, Green, Red,
Yellow).

3. Capturing and Processing Video
Frame Processing & Color Detection
• cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) opens the webcam.
• Each frame is flipped (cv2.flip()) and converted to HSV (cv2.cvtColor()).
• The HSV range from trackbars is used to generate a mask of the detected color
(cv2.inRange()).
•
4. Morphological
Detecting the operations clean the mask: erode, open, and dilate.
Marker and Handling Buttons
Contour Detection & User Interaction
• Contours in the mask are found using cv2.findContours().
• The largest contour is considered the marker.
• If marker is near the top (y ≤ 65), it checks for button press:
• Clear: resets all points.
• Color buttons: changes brush color.
• Else, marker coordinates are stored for drawing.

5. Drawing Mechanism & Output
Drawing on Frame and Canvas
• Points are stored in deques based on color (Blue, Green, Red, Yellow).
• cv2.line() draws connecting lines between points.
• Drawing happens on both:
• The live video feed (frame).
• The persistent white canvas (paintWindow).
• cv2.imshow() displays:
• Live tracking,
• The canvas,
• The binary mask.
• Pressing ‘q’ quits the program.
Core Code Snippet –
Color Detection
hsv = cv2.cvtColor(frame,
cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)

mask = cv2.inRange(hsv, lower_red,


upper_red)

contours, _ = cv2.findContours(mask,
cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,
cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
Running the Air Drawing App – Main Loop & Exit Handling
Starting video capture

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

Main loop

while True: success, frame = cap.read() if not success: break

# Flip the frame (mirror effect)


frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)

# Your processing logic goes here


# (e.g., color detection, drawing, gesture recognition)

cv2.imshow("Air Drawing App", frame)

# Exit condition: Press 'q' to quit


if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break

Releasing resources

cap.release() cv2.destroyAllWindows()
Core Code Snippet – Drawing Logic
if contours:

x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(contours[0])

if prev_x and prev_y:

cv2.line(canvas, (prev_x, prev_y), (x, y), (0, 0, 255), 5) prev_x, prev_y = x, y


Features
• Real-time drawing: The app captures movements instantly, allowing users to draw live
on-screen with minimal delay or lag.
• Color-based tracking: It identifies and follows specific colored object, using HSV values
to isolate and track the "pen."
• No external hardware: Only a webcam is required; the system works without needing
styluses, sensors, or additional devices.
• Smooth and responsive: Efficient contour detection and frame processing ensure fluid
drawing actions and immediate system response to movement.

Applications
• Kids’ Drawing Tool: Provides an engaging and mess-free way for children to express
creativity by drawing virtually with a color-tracked pen.
• Touch-Free UI for Public Kiosks: Enables hands-free interactions at public kiosks,
reducing physical contact and enhancing hygiene in high-traffic areas.
• Motor-Impaired Assistance: Offers an accessible alternative for individuals with motor
impairments, allowing them to create digital drawings with minimal physical effort.
• Fun Interactive Learning: Enhances learning by integrating engaging visual activities,
making educational experiences more enjoyable through digital interaction.
