facial-recognition-door

Raspberry Pi Camera and OpenCV combined with some basic hardware to model a prototype of a door that unlocks based on facial recognition, thus eliminating the need for keys. Made for Shane Rogers's ENGR 171B class at Santa Clara University in Spring of 2017. Collaborators include Connor Tisch, Asa Jacob, Milan Copic, and Mani Gnanasivam.

Built on Raspberry Pi 2B running Raspbian Jessie Lite.
