Introduction of Portable Low-Cost Facial Recognition

The project idea is unique and for the development of a new system for facial recognition in the lost cost and small with the name “Portable Low-cost Facial recognition.” The aim is to develop the system portable that will help you to fix this system anywhere in the small spaces. The proposed idea is going to be implemented to enhance the security of the banks. The proposed system will be implemented in by using the Raspberry Pi, and the Camera, which is fixed on the device and the programming language “python” will be used for developing this project. The system will recognize the known criminal faces by using the camera to make the system secure.

Nowadays, many banks have to face robbery cases. Some people try to damage the ATM security to steal the money, and most people take these tries whether they know that the camera is implanted in the ATM cabin. The cameras record the videos, but it is difficult to recognize and find the criminals by watching the videos. Sometimes the security room and the police fail to recognize and find the criminals by watching the video.

The proposed system provides you facility to recognize the criminals by using the device camera fixed in Raspberry Pi because this system is developed just to develop the system that can easily recognize the criminal faces and can find the criminal record of the criminal as well as the social media API’s like Face book, Instagram and Google are also embedded in the proposed project which can easily retrieve the personal detail of criminals that will make the criminal searching task more easy. The system is very smart, which can recognize the criminal face from different angle as well as it will also recognize the face whether the criminal is smiling. The system is very cost-effective, efficient, lighter and portable that enhances the workability at low cost.

The main feature of the system, the system is providing you facility to save the data on runtime in the database by online Apache server as well as the SQLite is also used in to store the record in the device storage. In case of any mishap, the data will be retrieved from the Apache server.

Aim & Objectives of Portable Low-Cost Facial Recognition

The proposed project has several objectives that make the recognition system satisfactory. The main objective of the project is listed below, which will clarify what the system is and why the system is made for.

Provide Security in Cheap Price

The main objective is to provide a cheaper security system by the facial recognition system. There is much facial recognition system available in the market, but they are most expensive, and the companies or banks have to purchase the system at a high cost.

Making Portable

The portable feature also makes this project unique this means that the devices are working on the Raspberry Pi which is the smaller Linux based device and can be fixed in the small spaces anywhere in the ATM cabin as well as the device can be transported when needed.

Recognition from different Angles

Other devices are proving the camera services in the market to several companies, but there are some flaws in their systems. To overcome those flaws, the portable low-cost facial recognition system is introduced, which can recognize the criminal faces from different angles whether the suspicious person is smiling at that time.

Retrieve the basic information using API’s

The aim is to retrieve the basic information of suspicious persons by embedding the API of social media. The focus is to recognize the face and the API’s provide the basic biography from the social website. If that was criminal, then the system will save the information in SQLite database as well as in the MySQL server.

The software development life cycle (SDLC) process is used because it is using more suitable for this project.

Constraints of Portable Low-Cost Facial Recognition

There are some constraints of the portable cost-effective facial recognition which can reduce the efficiency of the system. By taking a look at the system, it gives overview of the working behavior. First of all it captures the image of the person then it will extract the image then compare this image and match after this. The extraction of image and capturing the image can go out of order due if the camera lens or sensor does not work correctly. Sometimes, the camera fails to recognize the faces due to low light, especially in the night. The runtime error may occur which can affect the information retrieval process and possibly it can miss or skip the information retrieving the person, or on the other side, the information cannot be saved into the database due to runtime error. On the other side, system development and implementation are difficult due to the other competitors and can be difficult to use for some organizations or manage it properly.

Report Overview of Portable Low-Cost Facial Recognition

In the report overview, the brief introductions are given about the project and the report. The report will give you knowledge about the project that what processes and hardware will be used in this use as well as describes the main focus goals and objective of the proposed approach. The aim is to develop the system portable that will help you to fix this system anywhere in the small spaces. The proposed idea is going to be implemented to enhance the security of the banks. The proposed system will be implemented in by using the Raspberry Pi, and the Camera, which is fixed on the device and the programming language “python” will be used for developing this project. The system will recognize the known criminal faces by using the camera to make the system secure.

The report is telling about the main objective and goal of the project, which is mentioned above in the aim and objectives section. For the reader’s convenience, the objectives are also listed here such as the main goals is to provide the security in the cost-effective manners, make the system portable, focusing on the personal information of suspicious people by using the particular social media API’s as well as it focuses on the software development life cycle for the development. There is also some constraint for the implementation of the system. Some runtime errors can affect the working efficiency of the system or camera can go out of order due to some electronic problems or some lighting issue can affect face recognition.

The software development life cycle is used in the development that has given the proper direction and way to develop the life cycle. For example, by applying the software development life cycle process on my project gave me a proper direction. First of all, I did analyze the requirements, then design. After designing the way, it will take me in the coding phase. After development, the testing technique will be applied to the whole system. If all the tests are passed, then we will able to deploy this system and commercialize this system. After commercialization, it is understood that many issues can occur in the system then the developers can provide the maintenance services.
