Research on Face Recognition Based on Improved Convolutional Neural Network Using Raspberry Pi

In this paper, a face recognition system has been designed using Raspberry Pi based on convolution neural network technology. Convolution neural network that using OpenCV (open source computer vision library) to realize real-time face recognition and feature extraction. The difficult and important problem in deep learning network is that it could be over fitting very easily. In order to alleviate the over fitting phenomenon and improve the accuracy of face recognition, the dropout technology of convolutional neural network had been employed to improve the recognition accuracy and ensure the robustness of face recognition. The results of experiments show that our methods has the advantages in the computer time and recognition rate for the low construction cost, simple structure and strong portability. The accuracy of face detection for static and dynamic images using Raspberry Pi is above 85% in our testament.
