Abstract

The face recognition–based vehicle ignition system effectively replaces the conventional key mechanism by using the authorized user’s facial identity for authentication. Both advanced convenience and improved security can be achieved through automotive electronics. Raspberry Pi computer equipped with a camera to capture photo of face images and process facial images. The system identifies authorized users based on stored facial data and unlocks the ignition automatically upon recognition, providing a secure and convenient access control solution. A GPS module with a 9600 baud rate is used to receive the data from the satellites. The device can be installed in a concealed or appropriate section of your vehicle. Once set up, the vehicle can be tracked through a mobile phone by sending the code to the SIM card inserted in the GSM modem. The system will then automatically send the vehicle’s location to your phone via SMS.
