Face Recognition Attendence System with SQLite3 and NumPy

This project implements a face recognition system using Python libraries. It leverages:

• OpenCV: For face detection and recognition tasks.
• NumPy: For numerical computations during feature extraction.
• SQLite3: For efficient storage of facial data.

This system has potential applications in areas like security access control, user identification, and personalized experiences.

Features

• Detects faces in images or video streams.
• Recognizes faces based on pre-populated facial data stored in an SQLite3 database.
• Offers accuracy depending on the size and quality of the training dataset.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/<username>/Face-Recognition-with-SQLite3-and-NumPy.git
   cd Face-Recognition-with-SQLite3-and-NumPy

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Data Preparation

• Place your facial images in the data/raw_data directory. (Consider organizing them by name or another identifier)
• Run the script python src/data_processing.py (or a similar script if you have one) to pre-process the data (resizing, normalization, etc.) if needed.

2. Training the Model

• Run the script python src/train_model.py (or a similar script if you have one) to train the face recognition model on your pre-processed data.

3. Running the Recognition

• Run the script python src/main.py (or a similar script) to perform face recognition using the trained model.
• Optional: Customize src/main.py to specify arguments for video input, confidence thresholds, etc.
