Lock/Unlock Ubuntu OS

Introduction

We can lock and unlock our Ubuntu system using face recognition(currently only on Ubuntu).

Article about implementation

Automatically Locking & Unlocking Ubuntu with Computer Vision Using a Human Face!!!

Demo

Requirements

Install below the required library in your local machine.

1. python 3.7
2. opencv 4.1.0
3. numpy
4. face-recognition
5. sudo apt-get install gnome-screensaver
6. sudo apt-get install xdotool

Quick Start

I have used three python files to solve this issue.

1. face_generate.py  This will detect your face and save it in the dataset folder then the new folder will create with your name.  
2. face_train.py  This python file will open the dataset folder and take your image from that and train your face using the K-nearest neighbor algorithm and face_recognition library.  
3. face_unlock.py  This is an important python file that will detect your face using the webcam and unlock the system.
