Smart Surveillance Camera Using AI

The Python script recognizes faces in real-time webcam video by using computer vision algorithms. For face detection, facial feature encoding, and face comparison with known faces, it makes use of the Open CV and face recognition packages. When the script detects a familiar face, it adds the name and the current time to a CSV file, indicating the person's attendance. In a similar manner, it records attendance for unidentified faces as “unknown.” It also takes pictures of faces you don't recognize and saves them for later review or identification. The program repeatedly scans the video stream for faces, identifying them and cross-referencing them with a database of recognized faces. After a brief pause, if an unknown face is identified, a second face recognition procedure is started to either validate the identity or label the person as unknown. The script shows the promise of computer vision techniques in a variety of applications, such as security, identity systems, and attendance monitoring. It offers a straightforward but efficient approach for real-time face recognition and attendance tracking.
