In this course, we have created our own Face Recognition Door Lock using Raspberry Pi and the AWS Recognition service provided by AWS Cloud.
This Project works using a Raspberry Pi Camera to capture the image of the person at the door if the button is pressed, and after that, the image is sent to the AWS Recognition Service for recognition of the face of the person with the authorized user’s faces, and if the face is recognized successfully, then the electronic door lock connected to the Raspberry Pi is unlocked for the authorized user to enter the room.
In case the person is not recognized, then the image of that person is sent to the authorized user’s email address.
With the use of the AWS Recognition service, the processing of the image for face recognition is faster as well as accurate, and this makes the project fast, reliable, cheap, and highly secured as compared to other existing projects.
This development scheme using the Raspberry Pi has less power consumption as it can also be powered by a power bank or 5V power supply and is flexible as the size of the Raspberry Pi is compact, so it can be installed in a small space.
