Development and Implementation of Face Recognition Technology in The Police Department

Abstract

Facial recognition technology automates the process of identifying and verifying individuals using facial features. The proposed system captures live facial data through a camera, pre-processes it (resizing, grayscale, noise reduction), and extracts distinctive facial landmarks using OpenCV and deep learning models. These extracted features are matched against a secure, pre-registered database. If a match is identified, access is granted or an appropriate log is generated. In case of unregistered individuals or blacklisted entities, the system triggers an alert and captures a snapshot for security monitoring. This integration significantly enhances surveillance, access control, and crime prevention while maintaining privacy standards.
