Project Overview

Today, mobile devices are equipped with cameras that are more than 4x better than just 7 years ago.

iOS device, in particular, also have thousands of compatible accessories ranging from music players to 3D sensors.

Project Overview

Buildings and Homes all across the country use a wide array of complex security devices to protect against unwarranted access.

Why not use everyday devices? My project involves using an iPad and off-the-shelf depth sensor to perform 3D Face Recognition and Verification for security access.

Project Overview

My project is designed to replace the current key-card access system in the CBL lab (left) with my iPad/Sensor System (right).

Who Cares?

Why should everyone in the lab always remember to have their IDs on them?

• Get up to talk to someone who just walked by and the door closes…Locked out.

• Forget your wallet at home…Locked out.• Realize your meeting is soon and leave behind your

wallet in the rush…Locked out.

This project was inspired by the fact that there has to be a BETTER WAY.

Current Progress

The most important thing for these 10 weeks is to have something to show for it.

Step 1: Create a System which uses Face Detection to unlock the lab door.

Step 2: Scan members of the lab to record face data.

Step 3: Incorporate a verification system which compares new face data to already recorded face data.

Future Plans

Complete the next step of the project outline.

There are many different conditions that can effect the performance and accuracy of facial scans.

Bad Conditions:• Different Pose• Dim Lighting• Background Noise• Etc.
