Locker security system using facial recognition and One Time Password (OTP)

Abstract

To overcome the security issues faced with the locker system now-a-days, the locker security system is proposed using IoT (Internet of Things), face recognition and OTP (One Time Password). Each time when an individual wants to access the locker, he/she should type the PIN (Personal Identification number) which is already set by them. If the PIN entered is valid, the camera connected to the locker captures and compares the image of the user using Eigen face and PCA (Principle Component Analysis) algorithms. Then the image will be matched with the database records by using Euclidean distance and Viola-Jones algorithm. Once the image gets matched One Time Password (OTP) will be generated and sent via SMS (Short Message Service) to the registered mobile using GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) service and e-mail notification also will be sent. If the features are not matched then the log details related to the transaction will be sent to the registered number and to e-mail account. By using which the owner can easily complaint to the police officials about intruder by sending the log and location details via SMS.
