Implementation of Security System Using Computer Vision and Temperature Detection

Abstract

For corporate and private groups, providing security and secure access to workplaces has long been a top priority. From keypads to fingerprint sensors, there have been advancements in the way security is delivered over the years. Even these, though, have their flaws and weaknesses. Computer Vision is a more powerful and modern technique which can be integrated into a security system for the purpose of increasing the overall level of security. This project aims to create a security system that utilizes this software as well as a temperature sensing module to enable secure, monitored and contact-less, access. The facial authentication is achieved with a help of a webcam connected to the system and a python program on which this is executed, after which the main control is transferred to the Arduino UNO Microcontroller board which tests the two incoming inputs and provides access based on its decision. A training model is employed which studies the given images of the users and detects them when entry is requested.
