MACHINE LEARNING-BASED FACIAL RECOGNITION FOR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

Video surveillance systems play a crucial role in ensuring public safety and security. However, the traditional methods of surveillance often fall short in effectively identifying individuals, particularly in crowded or dynamic environments. This research addresses the limitations of conventional video surveillance by proposing a machine learning-based facial recognition system. The increasing demand for robust security measures necessitates the development of advanced technologies in video surveillance. Facial recognition has emerged as a promising solution, but existing systems struggle with accuracy and efficiency. This research aims to bridge these gaps by leveraging machine learning techniques for facial recognition in video surveillance. Conventional video surveillance struggles with accurate and rapid identification of individuals, leading to potential security lapses. This research addresses the challenge of enhancing facial recognition accuracy in real-time video feeds, especially in scenarios with varying lighting conditions and occlusions. While facial recognition has gained traction, there is a significant research gap in the implementation of machine learning algorithms tailored for video surveillance. This study aims to fill this void by proposing a novel methodology that combines deep learning and computer vision techniques for robust facial recognition in dynamic environments. The proposed methodology involves training a deep neural network on a diverse dataset of facial images to enable the model to learn intricate facial features. Additionally, computer vision algorithms will be employed to handle challenges such as occlusions and varying lighting conditions. The model''''s performance will be evaluated using real-world video surveillance data. Preliminary results demonstrate a significant improvement in facial recognition accuracy compared to traditional methods. The machine learning-based system exhibits enhanced performance in challenging scenarios, showcasing its potential for practical implementation in video surveillance systems.
