Design and Analysis of IOT Based Real Time System for Door Locking/Unlocking using Face Identification

Abstract

In this era we are facing security issues in every aspect. So for resolving this issue we are proposes a real time application controlled door locking/unlocking mechanism which harnesses the power of IOT and machine learning for smooth functionality. The door unlocking system proposed here uses a Raspberry Pi 3 model B for computation along with a Pi Camera to take face as an input of the user. Also in order to make door unlocking fail proof, fingerprint sensor is used. Scenarios like bad lighting and camera failure can be easily dealt using this sensor. The face detection and recognition system used for door opening will be able to learn user’s faces from time to time and update its dataset. So any subtle changes in the face of user like addition of spectacles or removal of beard can be easily dealt with.
