Python-Arduino-Person-Recognition

IT 254 Project 1

Project Steps:

1. train facial recognition model

• Accessed teachable machine at https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/train.
• Trained the model to recognize between images showing a human face and images that don't.
• Exported the model in Keras format.

2. Upload Arduino Code:

• Opened the Arduino IDE and uploaded the attached code.
• The attached code should inform the Arduino to light up once the input is provided that a face is being recognized.

3. Set up Arduino Python Connection

• Open Visual Studio Code and input the attached Python code.
• The attached code should reference the Keras model and labels and provide the appropriate input to the Arduino when a face is being seen by the computer camera.

4. Test System

• Close the Arduino IDE.
• Activate the code on Visual Studio Code.
• Everything is working correctly if the camera sees a face and the LED lights up.

Systems used:

• Python 3
• TensorFlow
• Keras
• OpenCV
• PySerial
• Arduino IDE
• Arduino Mega 2560
