Modern society places a high priority on door lock security because traditional
locks and keys have been shown to be unsuitable for ensuring adequate security. Using
obsolete or subpar locks that burglars can easily pick or bypass makes homes,
businesses, and other properties susceptible to theft and other security breaches.
Another problem is that door locks aren't adequately maintained and cared for; as locks
age or get damaged, they lose some of their functionality. Certain door locks could not
offer enough defense against specific security risks, such as forceful entry or
sophisticated hacking techniques, necessitating the use of extra security measures like
electronic locks or reinforced doors and windows. Key duplication risk is another
problem, as conventional keys are simple to duplicate and allow unauthorized access to
restricted places. This problem can be solved by biometric security systems, such as
the Face Detection and Recognition Door Lock System, which do away with physical
keys in favor of using biometric information to permit entry. Door locks must also take
privacy and data protection into account because biometric security systems may

systems use distinctive biological characteristics, such as fingerprints, iris patterns, and
facial recognition, to identify people and restrict access to specific locations. Facial
recognition technology has recently risen to the top of the list due to its usefulness and
precision. Given its ability to quickly and reliably identify people while preventing

traditional methods like keys and cards can be risky because they can be lost or stolen.
That's why some people are thinking about using technology like facial recognition to
make things more secure and convenient. But using this kind of system can be tricky
because there are lots of ethical, legal, and technical issues to think about, like how to
keep people's data safe and make sure the system is fair for everyone. So, the goal of
this study is to figure out how to create a really secure and ethical Face Detection and
Recognition Door Lock System that solves these challenges and works well for

significance of security in daily life and the weaknesses of conventional door locks,
including lock picking and key duplication. The authors also go through the system's
implementation specifics and the difficulties they ran into while developing it.

replacement for conventional access control methods. Their study demonstrates the
insights into creating a face recognition system using a Raspberry Pi. The study's

The study of Ma et al. [10] focuses on the use of facial recognition technology in
the context of access control systems for residential buildings. The authors describe the
based platform for centralized management of user data and system configurations.
Dealing with different lighting situations is one of the primary challenges in face
detection. It may be challenging for the system to reliably distinguish faces when lighting
conditions change. This may result in false positives or false negatives when the system
incorrectly recognizes the authorized user or fails to identify the authorized user. The
study of [11] also pointed out that the quality of the training photos could have an impact
on the system's effectiveness. To get around this problem, scientists trained the
processes. The authors discuss the limitations of current border control systems, such
as long wait times and manual identification processes, and propose a facial
recognition-based system that can streamline and automate the identification and
security system for office doors. The authors discuss the significance of security in
office settings and how conventional security measures like key locks and access cards
have drawbacks in terms of convenience and security. The technology takes a picture
of the person who is blocking the door and compares it to a database of pictures of
approved people. The system unlocks the door if the person's face matches one of the
photos that are already on file; otherwise, entry is denied. They ran a number of tests to
gauge the system's effectiveness, and the results revealed that it can accurately identify

recognition technology can offer a high level of security is one of its key advantages.
Facial recognition systems can accurately identify people, unlike conventional access
systems that depend on keys or cards, prohibiting unwanted access. Yet, there are
privacy issues associated with the usage of facial recognition technology. Individuals'

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Theoretical Framework
The theoretical basis of this study is based on the theories of machine learning
and computer vision. The goal of computer vision research is to develop methods and
tools for extracting visual data from the environment. Machine learning, a subfield of
artificial intelligence, focuses on developing algorithms that can identify patterns and
make predictions based on data. Specifically, this study draws on the following existing
approach in face detection and recognition door lock systems. This theory
involves identifying specific facial features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth to
identify individuals. The basic idea behind this approach is that the arrangement
of these features in the face is unique to each individual and can be used to
the input image of a face with a collection of previously saved templates. This
method can be useful for recognizing well-known people, but it might not perform
well if the input image is of poor quality or if the subject's look has dramatically
