Inspiration
Haloween involves dealing with pesky kids taking more sweets than they should. We want to treat the right kids with sweets without getting involved with the kuffufle.
What it does
It uses machine learning to identify a normal human face to a Halloween face/mask. If the person is indeed trick or treating then sweets will be dispensed through automated dispenser controlled by a raspberry pie module using a stepping motor.
How we built it
We split the team into two, hardware development interacting with the motor and structure of dispenser and the image processing team dealing with cameras and building facial recognition software to be uploaded to the pi
Challenges we ran into
Installing the correct packages and requirements. Configuring GPIO ports and the associated clocks
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It works Facial recognition Hardware operation Integration of hardware and software
What we learned
How to do facial recognition Embedded systems Real life application
What's next for Scary Face Recognition Sweet Dispenser
A moving robot that can identify kids Deep learning so the system can be fully autonomous A system that learns and adapt autonomously
