Face detection and recognition using Raspberry Pi

in today's world, face recognition is an important part for the purpose of security and surveillance. Hence there is a need for an efficient and cost effective system. Our goal is to explore the feasibility of implementing Raspberry Pi based face recognition system using conventional face detection and recognition techniques such as Haar detection and PCA. This paper aims at taking face recognition to a level in which the system can replace the use of passwords and RF I-Cards for access to high security systems and buildings. With the use of the Raspberry Pi kit, we aim at making the system cost effective and easy to use, with high performance.
