Green Invisibility Cloak

A Python project that creates a real-time invisibility cloak effect using OpenCV and NumPy. The program detects green-colored fabric and replaces it with a pre-recorded background, giving the illusion of disappearing.

Features

• Real-time video processing using webcam
• Detects green cloth as the "cloak"
• Smooth masking using morphological operations and Gaussian blur
• Fullscreen display for immersive effect

Requirements

• Python 3.13
• OpenCV
• NumPy

Install dependencies using pip:

pip install opencv-python numpy

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/Green-Invisibility-Cloak

2. Navigate to the project folder:

cd Green-Invisibility-Cloak

3. Run the program:

python green_invisibility_cloak.py

4. Make sure you have a green cloth ready for the effect. Press q to quit.

How It Works

1. Background Capture: The program first captures the static background for a few seconds.
2. Color Detection: It converts each video frame to HSV color space and detects green color.
3. Masking: Smooths the mask using morphological operations and Gaussian blur.
4. Combining Frames: Replaces green regions with the captured background to create the invisibility effect.
