Desarrollo de un sistema prototipo de acceso a los laboratorios de redes de la Facultad de Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica (FIEE) de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional (EPN) basado en reconocimiento facial

Abstract

Throughout the world different companies and even ordinary people make use of facial recognition technology; this technology allows access to different places and even allows them to obtain personal information. This same technology is commonly used in mobile phones; as many current cell phones provide this service to unlock the device.

This degree work proposes to implement a prototype access system to the Network Laboratory of the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (FIEE) of the National Polytechnical School (EPN) based on facial recognition, fingerprint and access PIN; for which the "Visual Studio" integrated development environment is used with the object-oriented programming language "C #" for the desktop application in conjunction with the OpenCV, EmguCV, Ozeki, ZKTeco and iText libraries on a Windows environment. As hardware is used: IP camera, fingerprint reader, numeric panel, router, usb hub and a computer where the desktop application and database will be hosted.

The prototype is aimed at trying to improve the existing security system of the FIEE Network Laboratory of the EPN.
