Face Recognition Based Smart ATM with Zigbee

Introduction The main aim of this project is to design the ATM terminal, based on the face recognition. The purpose of this project is to increase the security for customer who makes use of ATM machine. Normally once user's bank card is lost and the password is stolen, the criminal will draw all cash in the shortest time, which will bring enormous financial losses to customer, so to rectify this problem we are implementing this project. Security is of prior importance. Traditional ATM systems authenticate generally by using the credit card and the password, the method has some defects. Using credit card and password we cannot verify the client's identity exactly. We have a seen many issues related to ATM robbery. In order to avoid such theft, we go for face recognition based ATM, which grant permission for the user only after the face recognition process. The proposed system eliminates all these difficulties by allowing the entry to authorized persons only. This project is implemented using the technology of face recognition. Working The project consists of Micro controller based embedded system to which we interfaces a CMOS Image capturing Sensor and a Zigbee Wireless Communication Module. Face recognition system, will recognize an image from a group of sample images stored in Matlab in a centralized database. Here we will input an image which is compared with a group of images stored. Here the input image is an image taken from a CMOS Image Capturing Sensor when anyone tries to access the ATM service. Whenever person enters to access ATM, embedded system module consisting of CMOS camera will capture the image and this captured image will be transferred to the centralized system(System with Matlab) through Zigbee wireless communication and here the data is compared

with the database and if the face is recognized ,then the person is allowed to access the ATM service. We perform face recognition, an extremely complex visual task, almost instantaneously and our own recognition ability is far more robust than any computer's software can hope to be. We can recognize a familiar individual under very adverse lighting conditions, from varying angles or view points. Scaling differences (a face being near or far away), different backgrounds do not affect our ability to recognize faces and we can even recognize individuals with just a fraction of their face visible or even after several years have passed. Furthermore, we are able to recognize the faces of several thousand individuals whom we have met during our lifetime. This current research is focused towards developing a sort of unsupervised pattern recognition scheme that does not depend on excessive geometry and computations like de- formable templates. Eigen faces approach seemed to be an adequate method to be used in face recognition due to its simplicity, speed and learning capability, also it was chosen because it has proved to be highly robust in pattern recognition tasks when compared to some conventional techniques like IRIS detection which uses laser and all which may cause harmful to eyes.

ZigBee is a wireless technology developed as an open global standard to address the unique needs of low-cost, low-power, wireless sensor networks. The standard takes full advantage of the IEEE 802.15.4 physical radio specification and operates in unlicensed bands worldwide The specification is a packet-based radio protocol that meets the needs of low-cost, battery-operated devices. The protocol allows devices to intercommunicate and be powered by batteries that last years instead of hours.

Here the image information is taken from a CMOS Image sensor

automatically and is fed to Matlab system via ZIGBEE wireless communication. Matlab performs face recognition against a centralized database and information is sent to Access system. Every actions are controlled by a Sophisticated and dedicated Micro controller based Embedded system. Block diagram
