Using a Raspberry Pi 4 model B and the official Raspberry Pi camera module version 2, Eben Kouao has created a fantastic touchscreen smart mirror complete with facial recognition system. watch the ...

For face recognition to work well, we’re going to need some horsepower, so we recommend a minimum of Raspberry Pi 3B+, ideally a Raspberry Pi 4. The extra memory will make all the difference.

A clever maker took a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and built a smart mirror with touch support and facial recognition.

For example, one subject had facial hair which gave Google difficulty with interpreting the emotion. But after some trimming, interpretation improved.

The system uses a Raspberry Pi and camera to handle the face recognition, and then a servo lock the box. The end result is a pretty simple little lockbox that you'll unlock with your face.

Once the Raspberry Pi camera module is released the speed of face detection on a Raspi should increase dramatically, though, leading to even more useful computer vision builds with the Raspberry Pi.

Having a safe is a great way to store your valuables, and now you can lock them away in a DIY, face-recognizing setup with a some free software, a Raspberry Pi, and a Pi camera.

This SpiderPi robot is a very capable hexapod that offers real-time video transmission, comes with color and facial recognition, and intelligent transport.
