Design of Portable Security System Using Face Recognition with Back-Propagation Algorithm and MATLAB

摘要

In our globally connected world, threats from various aspects are going at an alarming rate. These are controlling with different security systems such as metal detector, closed circuit cameras, and scanning systems. All these aids are meant to recognize and identify the explosives and others weapons. Here, it is more important to identify the particular person or persons, who were planning to distract the society or particular event. This paper is aimed to design that to control the threats by identifying the suspected people by a simple face recognition technique using simple PC or laptop with the help of scientific software MATLAB and its neural network tool box. In general, all major events are fully securitized with welldeveloped protection systems but only problem with non-major and small events, where security systems are matter of financial issues. So, militants and other destroyers are taking advantage of these situations and creating a panic and terror situations. This paper is also designed like that a PC or laptop with camera can be a face recognition system to identify the suspected peoples and most wanted criminal. By recognizing the people, we can mostly avoid the threats from these people and dangerous situations. Neural network is a science that has been extensively applied to numerous pattern recognition problems such as character recognition, object recognition, and face recognition, where this paper has programmed for face recognition with the back-propagation algorithm and simulated with the software MATLAB and its neural network tool box. Here, the back propagation plays the central operation role to get the key features were extracted from the picture for training the network. Since the major role of the project is mainly focusing on the training of the neural network, already extracted key features of the person's image from the database were taken for training the back-propagation network. Here, we have taken 7 input units, 6 hidden units, and 4 output units contained back-propagation network. The output unit, 4 output units, generates the 4-bit output which gives the person identity.
