This project attempts to simulate a door lock system in Proteus using facial recognition. The facial recognition component is handled in Python and uses serial communication to establish a connection with the Arduinon module in proteus using the COMPIM component.
You need to have the following installed before you should attempt to run anything in this repo. Else, you'll have a lot of errors.
- Python 2 or 3
- Virtual Serial Port Driver
- Proteus 8 Application Framework
- Arduino IDE
- A reliable general purpose IDE, like sublime text
Similarly, you need the following dependencies, assuming you've installed npm and pip
- OpenCV :
pip install opencv-contrib-python - imutils :
pip install imutils - CMake :
pip install cmake - dlib :
pip install dlib - face_recognition:
pip install face-recognition - PySerial :
pip install pyserial
Once those dependencies are installed, you're good to go!
The folder Images constains a set of images(ordered in folders by corresponding name), insert your own set of dummy images to train the model with. (For example LFW - People (Face Recognition)).
Subsequently run the facial_detect_recognize.py module to scan through all the images in the Images folder and train the model with.
Once you've trained your model, a face_enc file should be created.
Launch the Proteus Simulation Application and open the door_face_detect Proteus Project file
Simultaneously launch the Arduino IDE and run the door_lock_face_detect.ino file and export the compiled binary (hex) file
Return to the Proteus window and click on the Arduino UNO component and upload the path of the exported hex file
Ensure the Virstual Serial Port Driver is launched as well and create a pair between COM1 and COM3 virtual ports
Run the Proteus simulation
Now, run the facial_detection.py module
Select an image you'd like to predict from the dialog boxz If the face is recognized, the name of the person will be displayed on the LCD, and the motor will turn(door open)z Otherwise, the LCD will let you know that the input face has not been recognized and the door will not open\
