Build a photobox without a greenscreen! This project uses the amazing Backgroundremover tool to allow for easy photo boxes without a greenscreen. Simply setup a camera connected with gphoto2 and create fun photos with your friends!

This script uses:

• Gphoto2 to capture images from a connected DSLR camera
• Backgroundremover to remove the background of the captured image
• Imagemagick to create variants of the source image
• mutt to send emails

Open the webinterface and enter information. The photo will be taken and the background will be removed

Photo taken:

Foreground:

Combined image:

The photo will be saved in the 'done' folder and sent to the entered email adress.

Install gphoto2, imagemagick and mutt using your package manager. Ensure that gphoto2 and mutt work correctly. Then run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

python webserver.py This starts a webserver on port 5000, which shows the last captured image and an interface to enter information. Images are saved within subfolders in the 'done' folder, using the selected name. When mutt is configured and an email adress is entered, the image will also be sent to the entered email adress.

All photos in the background folder will be used as backgrounds.

In greenscreen.sh you can configure the following variables:

• do_resize: If set to true, the image will be resized. Use this, if background removal takes a long time and you want faster (but worse) results.
• resize_target: Target width of the resized image
