FACE RECOGNITION
● The face is one of the easiest ways to distinguish the
individual identity of each other.
● Face recognition is a personal identification system
that uses personal characteristics of a person to
identify the person's identity
● Facial recognition uses algorithms to match
someone’s facial characteristics across photos and
video and is used in many aspects of contemporary
life
● This is used to tag people on Facebook, to unlock
iPhones and PlayStations and to focus cellphone
photographs, and soon will be used for attendance
and home security too
 COMPONENTS

Raspberry Pi
PIR Sensor
Camera
Power Bank
WiFi
RASPBERRY PI
● It is a System on a chip (SoC) with an integrated ARM-compatible central
processing unit (CPU) and on-chip graphics processing unit (GPU).
● Speed ranges from 700 MHz to 1.4 GHz for the Pi 3 Model B+ or 1.5 GHz for
the Pi 4
● CPU: 1.5 GHz 64/32-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A72
● Memory: 1, 2, or 4 GB RAM
● Power: 5V 3A
 NODE RED AND IBM WATSON
● Node-RED is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs
and online services in new and interesting ways.
● Node-RED provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire
together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be
deployed to its runtime in a single-click.
● The IBM Watson Visual Recognition service uses deep learning algorithms to
analyze images for scenes, objects, and other content. IBM Watson Studio
provides a collaborative environment in the cloud where you can work with
your images and your Visual Recognition custom models.
 PIR SENSOR
● It is measures distance or observes motion using infrared (IR) light radiating
from objects in its field of view.
● A PIR-based motion detector is used to sense movement of people, animals,
or other objects. They are commonly used in burglar alarms and
automatically-activated lighting systems.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The visual recognition node from IBM-Watson takes image url or buffer of an
image as input.
Here we gave the buffer of "photo.jpg" which was present in the local directory
Input is given through msg.payload.
The output is seen in msg.result
msg.result displays all the details which is obtained by IBM-Watson's analysis.
the result contains all the objects which are classified by Watson.
Based on the result, we can know if a person is detected in the image, or if
something else is detected in the image.
