Build a facial recognition door lock with Raspberry Pi by training models, writing Python scripts, and using a camera to unlock doors.
Install face recognition libraries, including the Immortals Library, then create a face recognition folder with subfolders and Python files to prepare for the next lesson.
Set up Visual Studio Code on Windows, install the Python extension and interpreter, create a Python file, print a message, and prepare to copy code to the Raspberry Pi.
Capture labeled face images with a Python OpenCV script, saving them into a dataset folder via a live camera feed using space to snap and escape to quit.
Test the face shot python script, set up a folder, load the face collection, install numpy and the Open View Library, fix errors, and capture 14 images for training.
Develop a python training script that processes dataset images to generate facial encodings and names, then pickle and dump them to disk for use in subsequent facial recognition.
Train a model script for face recognition on a Raspberry Pi, load the trained model, and process images while ensuring a clear camera and good lighting to open the door.
Test the face recognition script to show a green rectangle for known faces and an orange rectangle for unknown faces, as you load the cascade classifier and run the code.
Learn to convert a facial recognition script into a Raspberry Pi door lock, configure GPIO outputs, unlock for five seconds when a face is detected.
Learn to remotely access a Raspberry Pi by enabling VNC, connecting with its IP address, and updating packages for final setup and UI access.
Explore practical microcontroller projects with the Educational Engineering Team, using step-by-step blueprints on Raspberry Pi to build real-world applications such as a facial recognition door lock.
Introduction:
Imagine you could walk into your home and the door automatically unlocks without having to fumble for your keys. You can with a facial recognition door lock! In this course, you'll learn how to create one with a Raspberry Pi. First, you'll need to install some software and set up your Pi. Next, you'll create a script that will capture images of your face and compare them to those stored in the lock's database.
