IoT based Smart Security for the Blind

Face detection and recognition is challenging due to the wide variety of faces and the complexity of noises and image backgrounds. In this paper an Internet of Things (IoT) based face detection system using Raspberry Pi is proposed. In this system face is detected in a live video and the system tries to extract features for face recognition. This system also secures offices/homes from theft by instantly detecting theft as well as allowing user to view the theft details. The camera is used to detect the motion and the proposed system uses video processing techniques to detect and recognize the face on the fly. The system now transmits the face details over IoT to be viewed by user online in his phone or tablet anywhere. This is a system which detects the human face and recognizes whether he is a known or unknown person. Mobile devices including smart phones or tablets could connect to the smart E-view where they will be notified about the person who is outdoor. This information can be accessed anywhere with Wi-Fi or Internet. He will also be notified the time when the person has come home. The proposed work can be useful to to the blind, deaf or even disabled people as the system includes voice recognition to help and guide them.
