Abstract

Face recognition technology is commonly utilized for user authentication and verification by analysing a digital image of a person's face and matching it against a database of faces for identification purposes. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to mandatory quarantines and the use of quarantine bracelets for some individuals, which can be time-consuming and require a lot of effort. Face recognition technology can help raise awareness about the current situation and alleviate some of the burden associated with quarantine measures. The aim of this research is to concentrate on the face recognition of individuals with a history of quarantine, as a measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in educational institutions like universities, colleges, and schools. This research study concentrates on individuals with a history of quarantine orders. The system will employ the Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) algorithm for face detection. Additionally, the system will utilize the Face Landmark Algorithm to compare the 128-d vector with images stored locally. The system will make use of the Helen face collection dataset for its data requirements. The aim of this study is to explore and identify techniques for detecting individuals who violate quarantine measures and issuing notifications through the proposed system. By implementing this system, it could contribute to creating a more secure environment within the educational institution and potentially reduce the spread of the virus.
