Face detection and recognition are playing an important role in today’s digital world. Now this face recognition, detection are widely available in mobile phones. This project deals with real time working with images. We do this face detection/recognition method, for the main purpose to help the military soldiers who are working in the borders, which helps in saving many lives. Hence, the military organization can take the help of this project to carry out the risky jobs which is difficult to be recognized by the humans. In this, the project is carried out in such a way that it can capture the enemy’s image . This project is made easy with the help of Raspberry pi kit which is itself a minicomputer and helps in processing the images and gives detection or recognition of faces of the soldiers, village people or intruders. With the invention of Raspberry pi face recognition is taken to the next level. This system is programmed by using python programming language. The realization of the system will be completed by means of a low cost camera and a Raspberry pi kit The Raspberry Pi kit along with Open Source Computer Vision - OpenCV helps in face detection and recognition of the system. The camera will act as a third eye to the soldier. This helps soldier to be alert at any time.
