Smart Cat-Eye System Based on Facial Recognition Technology: Enhancing Security and Convenience in Chinese Residential Buildings

Currently, most residential properties in China still use traditional keys for entry, while rental properties, youth hostels, and gated communities often use IC cards or the popular password keypad for security purposes. However, both of these methods are 'object recognition' and do not utilize the unique characteristics of individuals, resulting in low security and complex operations. In response to this situation, the design of the intelligent cat-eye system has emerged.

The overall system design relies on the Linux operating system and consists of two parts: the client (cat-eye) and the server (processing center), which are connected via Ethernet to achieve intelligent cat-eye design based on facial recognition technology. The cat-eye client completes data image collection, real-time image transmission, facial search, and cat-eye functionality, while the server serves as the data processing center and uses OpenCV to process images to obtain image discrimination results. At the same time, it is responsible for feeding back the facial discrimination results and images to the client, which reflects the intelligent cat-eye's discrimination results.

From the test results, the cat-eye system has high versatility, can adapt to various scenarios, and has high and stable accuracy, reliability, and simplicity. In short, the system's reliability and practicality are very strong.
