+#  S-Rover (सरोवर) - Subterranean Rover 🤖
+
+## 🚀 Overview
+
+Explore the "S-Rover (सरोवर)" project – a fusion of computer vision, image processing, and Google Cloud Platform integration. This collaborative effort by our fantastic team results in captivating color maps generated from video frames. S-Rover (Sarovar) integrates cutting-edge sensors and navigation algorithms to autonomously explore and map unknown terrains. By capturing sequential images and stitching them in real-time, S-rover offers a versatile solution for enhanced exploration in inaccessible or hazardous environments.
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- *Dynamic Source Handling:* Intelligently switches between live streams and local video files.
+- *Frame Extravaganza:* Captures frames at regular intervals for further processing.
+- *Circular Magic:* Utilizes OpenCV wizardry to extract annular strips from images.
+- *Color Symphony:* Creates lively color maps using various OpenCV techniques.
+- *Google Cloud Platform:* Seamlessly uploads processed files to designated Google Drive folders.
