A Check-In System Leveraging Face Recognition

Abstract

With the development of society, Face Recognition technology has become one of the hottest topics, and is widely used. In this paper, we design and develop a face recognition system that can be used as a check-in system. Traditional check-in systems have several disadvantages including inefficiency and being difficult to analyse statistics. Thus, in order to solve these problems, we propose a new way of check-in: an identification system based on face recognition. Our system includes three main processes. Firstly, the image of each individual is captured via computer cameras. Secondly, after image preprocessing, feature information is extracted from the images through an efficient face recognition algorithm based on Principle Component Analysis. Thirdly, a database including the basic information of participants is created, and each image is associated with corresponding information in the database. After system development, comprehensive experiments are performed to examine the identification accuracy of the system.
