Desarrollo de un sistema prototipo de control de acceso al Laboratorio de Comunicaciones Unificadas de la Facultad de Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica (FIEE) de la EPN empleando reconocimiento facial

Abstract

Due to the lack of an access control system in the Unified Communications Laboratory of the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, it has been determined that the implementation of one of these systems is necessary to improve the safety of said laboratory. This work proposes a prototype system aimed at controlling access to the laboratory for authorized personnel, for this, different programming concepts are used as Python and the different OpenCV functionalities. In addition, a Raspberry Pi is used for the lock control and facial recognition process, which is responsible for the development of these processes. Additionally, it has an application where you can enter new users, delete users and verify access reports. It is important to mention that the facial recognition process is carried out with the help of the OpenCV library and face_recognition, which have different functions for image and face processing. The prototype system architecture is of the Client - Server type.
