Face recognition is the method that is used to extract features from the human face in form of encodings and compare it with previously stored encodings from the memory and returns the closest match if any, which is used for identifying or verifying the person through his face from a digital image or a video.

Abstract
The issue of security is paramount in any organisation. Therefore, the authors intend to aid in the security of such organisations by bringing a video based human authentication system for access control which is a type of cyber physical system (CPS). CPS is an integration of computation and physical processes; here the computation is provided by face detection and recognition algorithm and physical process is the input human face. This system aims to provide a platform that allows any authorized person to enter or leave the premise automatically by using face detection and recognition technology. The system also provides the administrator with the access to the logs, wherein he/she would be able to access the details of the people entering or leaving the organisation along with the live video streaming so that there is no sneaking of any unauthorized person with any other authorized person. The administrator can also do registration on behalf of a new person who requires access to the premises for a restricted amount of time only as specified by the administrator.
