Smart Lab with Automated Access

Abstract

This paper deals with the idea of smart labs with automated access utilizing IOT for door unlocking systems and automating the process of switching ON the appliances to provide smartness and automation to our computer labs. It uses a picture capturing technique in an embedded system based on Raspberry Pi. RPi (Raspberry pi) controls the camera for capturing the image and for door unlocking. The camera captures the facial picture and RPi processes the image to the service which recognises the face in the image by comparing it with the images which are stored in the database. If the picture is found in the database then the door lock opens and a node is assigned to the person, the node and nearby fan and light are provided power. The person will be informed by an audio announcement about the assigned node.
