Facial Recognition Security Workshop
About the Facial Recognition Security Workshop
The Facial Recognition Security Workshop focuses on building intelligent authentication systems using modern computer vision and AI technologies. Participants learn how to design, train, and deploy facial recognition models using Python, OpenCV, and TensorFlow. Through practical tasks and hardware integration, attendees develop a real security system capable of detecting, identifying, and granting access based on facial data. By the end of the workshop, every participant will create a functional prototype of an AI-driven smart security door.
