1 . 1 INTRODUCTION

A face recognition system could also be a technology which is very capable of matching a
personality's face from a digital image or a video frame which it has or use it as a reference to
map and identify against an info of faces. Researchers area unit presently developing multiple
ways throughout that face recognition systems work. the foremost advanced face recognition
methodology, that is to boot used to manifest users through ID verification services, works by
pinpointing and mensuration countenance from a given image.

While at first a kind of laptop application, face recognition systems have seen wider uses in
recent times on smartphones and in alternative kinds of technology, like artificial intelligence. as
a result of computerized face recognition involves the measuring of a human's physiological
characteristics face recognition systems area unit classified as bioscience. though the accuracy of
face recognition systems as a biometric technology is a smaller amount than iris recognition and
fingerprint recognition, it's wide adopted because of its contactless and non-invasive method.
Facial recognition systems area unit deployed in advanced human -computer interaction, video
police work and automatic compartmentalization of pictures. We have a created a face
recognition technology capable of identifying faces.
1 . 2 Scope of the Face Detection & Recognition System

Security and Law Enforcement


• Surveillance: Face detection is extensively used in security cameras to monitor restricted
areas and track individuals in real-time.
• Criminal Identification: Law enforcement agencies utilize facial recognition to identify
persons of interest, aiding in crime prevention and investigation.
• Access Control: Many organizations implement facial recognition for secure access to
facilities, allowing for automated attendance tracking and monitoring employee
productivity.

Healthcare
• Patient Identification: Hospitals can use face recognition systems to verify patient
identities, link biometric data to insurance policies, and enhance security measures.
• Emergency Alerts: These systems can trigger alarms if patients leave designated areas
without permission, improving safety in healthcare settings.

Consumer Applications
• Smartphones and Devices: Facial recognition technology is widely adopted in
smartphones for unlocking devices and authorizing transactions, providing a convenient
user experience.
• Social media: Platforms use face detection for tagging individuals in photos, enhancing
user engagement through personalized experiences.

Education
• Attendance Systems: Educational institutions are beginning to adopt face recognition for
attendance tracking, ensuring accurate records of student presence.
• Safety Monitoring: Advanced systems can detect unauthorized individuals on campus,
alerting authorities instantly.
1 . 3 Objectives

This project is created so as to study the various means of recognizing faces with more accuracy
and reducing the error rates while recognition. The ideal condition for any recognition project is
to reduce the intra class variance of features and increase the inter class variance of features to be
detected or recognized.

Facial Recognition software is “Capable of uniquely identifying or verifying a person by


comparing and analyzing patterns based on the person’s facial contours. It is mostly used for
security purposes”. Many other areas of use.

Different recognizer approaches are used for recognition of faces. They are:

• Eigen Faces
• Fisher Faces
• Local Binary Pattern Histograms
1 . 4 Methodology

In my projects, I employed Python Libraries and Google as primary methodologies to enhance


research and documentation processes.

Python Libraries
• OpenCV : (Open-Source Computer Vision Library) is an open-source computer vision
and machine learning software library.
• NumPy: Numerical Python, is a powerful open-source library in Python primarily used
for numerical computing.
• Pillow: The Python Imaging Library (PILLOW) or generally called as PIL is very useful
for adding image processing capability to your Python interpreter.
• Face Recognition: The “Face recognition” library in python is a library which helps in
recognizing and manipulating the faces by using the programming language python.

Google
• Google was instrumental in conducting comprehensive research and analysis.

By integrating Python Libraries and Google into my project methodologies, I was able to
enhance the depth of research, improve collaboration, and ultimately drive better project
outcomes.
1 . 5 Limitations

• Data Storage: Extensive data storage is required for creating, training and maintaining
big face databases which is not always feasible.

• Computational Power: The requirement of computational power also increases with


increase in the size of the database. This becomes financially out of bounds for smaller
organizations.

• Camera Angle: The relative angle of the target’s face with the camera impacts the
recognition rate drastically. These conditions may not always be suitable, therefore
creating a major drawback.

• Occlusions Faces: Accessories like hats, glasses, or masks can obstruct facial features,
making it challenging for algorithms to identify individuals accurately.

• Expression Changes: Variations in facial expressions can alter the features used for
recognition, potentially leading to misidentification.

• Poor Image Quality: The effectiveness of facial recognition is heavily dependent on the
quality of images. Low-resolution images, such as those from surveillance cameras, can
significantly hinder recognition accuracy have compared to high-quality digital
photographs.
