Face Recognition Security System
2012
This project started in 2012.
This project is a face recognition program that was written mainly in C# but also used libraries that I wrote in C++. Using libraries like OpenCV & OpenGL I was able to identify faces and eyes on a picture or video feed and mark them accordingly. Then I could save those as grayscale pictures and assign an id number and compare and match faces from the feed to the saved ones. When a saved face would be identified, the program will send the face’s id throw a USB connection to an Arduino Nano board. I programmed the Arduino to open an electric lock when receiving certain ids via the serial port and close the lock otherwise.
