Combination of RFID and Face Recognition for Access Control System

In this paper, the Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and face recognition are integrated for access control system. A rapid face detection scheme which using a set of rotated haar-like features is adopted for face detection. A normalization process is then applied to adjust the detected faces. The speeded up robust features (SURF) algorithm is used for registering the detected face and the stored face image. The complex wavelet structural similarity is finally used for face authentication. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves high recognition rate. The proposed method had operated in a multinational enterprise well with high satisfaction, which makes the security stronger and reliable.
