Project P16: The Face Reader

Mentor: Ankan

Details

In this generation, face recognition softwares are used everywhere. And with its advent came various uses of it. Like screen unlock features in phones, facial recognition to access criminal databases,face based attendance system and many more. Our work in this project will be to detect or possibly recognize a face using a haar cascade model and opencv module in python and take action according to it. Our focus in this project will be on IoT like turning on an LED as per face detected/recognized since it will be a newer concept to control arduino using python scripts.
