Facial recognition access control

This is a simple program which uses the flask, flask_simplelogin, opencv, and face_recognition to recognize and identify faces and trigger Raspberry Pi GPIO pins as outputs for any device you would like.

This program also includes a webapp if you wish to view what the face_recognition library is doing.
This program was developed as a final project for the ECEGR-2000 class and as a learning experience for python and flask.

Usage

This was tested on a Raspbery Pi 3, however any subsequent model should be able to run this program.

1. Run brew install cmake
2. Clone this repository, then run: pip install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies. You will need python 3.9.
3. To run the program, you can just run the included bash file: ./run.sh
