Development of a Portable Face Recognition System with GPS Integration Using Raspberry Pi

Face recognition systems are a rapidly evolving computer vision technology capable of accurately identifying faces. Additionally, the development of SBCs (Single Board Computers) has advanced significantly, enabling fast computational processing. The integration of face recognition systems on SBCs enables the creation of embedded face recognition systems. With the addition of GPS devices, it is possible to develop a mobile embedded face recognition system, which can contribute to enhancing infrastructure security and sustainability. This research demonstrates that A portable face recognition system based on Raspberry Pi 5 and a GPS module has been successfully developed. The system successfully detects target faces and able to send location coordinates through the Telegram application. Testing results show that the system's effective range is 1 to 4 meters, with an effective angle of 80° to 100° (from the left horizontal). The tests also indicate that systems without video output generally have higher FPS compared to systems displaying video.
