Electrical Appliances Control through Face Detection using Raspberry Pi

The proposed implementation of automation which is residential extension of building automation and involves the control and automation of lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, appliances. Proposed implementation of the system is for monitoring and controlling the home appliances using face detection technique. We are establishing the communication with electronic devices through face detection with the help of high webcam, raspberry pi platform. Basically, we are controlling home appliances via face profiling using raspberry pi as platform. System authentication is based on person’s face. Face of the user is detected using camera at the door, whereas home appliances like lights, fan and door lock are controlled through program loaded in the raspberry pi. Here, raspberry pi act as interface between face profiling system and automation system. When the user enters in the room camera detect the face, then particular program for face profile in the raspberry pi processor is loaded. By this we provide an easily accessible and manageable system.
