Using the open CV module in python, combined with the face recognition module to develop a real time face recognition program Features:
- Email to user
- Alert the user by sending a message to Google Home
- Can be easily used with a micro computer such as Jetson Nano or Raspberry Pi
Getting training data:
- Make a directory to store all the images of the registered people
- Upload and run the code to save the face encodings of each induvidual in the images as a pickle file *Note: Images in the training dataset should be of induvidual people only
Use training data to compare faces:
- Upload and run code to load camera and compare the encodings of the face detected to the loaded training data
- If a face is detected, alert the user by sending a message to Google Home and an email
- If no face is detected, remain dormant
