Design and implementation of a Deep Learning-based Intelligent Electronic Lock Door Entry Control System

Abstract

    The Internet of Things (IoT) technology and smart systems are playing a major role in the advanced developments in the world that take place nowadays, especially in multiple privilege systems. There are many smart systems used in daily human life to serve them and facilitate their tasks, such as alarm systems that work to prevent unwanted events or face detection and recognition systems. The main idea of this work is to capture live video using a connected Pi camera, save it, and unlock the electric strike door in several ways; either automatically by displaying a live video connected via USB webcam using a deep learning algorithm of facial recognition and OpenCV or by RFID technology, as well as by detecting abnormal entrance with a ringing buzzer. In addition, this system is made in Python language and based on the Raspberry pi 4 B model that can be viewed and controlled by connecting to a screen or Wi-Fi locally or publicly over the Internet from any other smart device, such as a laptop or mobile phone, by installing the VNC application or the remote desktop connection application. The results obtained showed the efficiency and performance of this system through remote control to display, detect, and identify the persons who are authorized to permit the electronic lock/unlock door (E-Door) at a relatively low cost with the implementation of many functions in real-time.
