FaceIgnition: An automatic anti-theft and keyless solution for vehicles

Abstract

The automobile industry is a sector that brings together art, innovation, science, technology and ideas that empower the economy, people and the nation as a whole. A great deal of advancement has been done in automobiles, but there is always room for improvement. Security of the vehicle is an essential requirement. The conventional key-turning ignition process has become a hassle as access to the vehicle requires the user to possess the key at all times. In a scenario where the key is unavailable, it becomes very difficult to make use of the vehicle. So, In today’s fast-paced technological world, it becomes imperative that a keyless system be built, that would provide the user with ease to operate the vehicle. Considering this, we have developed "FaceIgnition", which is an automatic vehicle ignition system that makes use of face recognition to check authenticity along with providing security against theft and unauthenticated use. It enables the user to make use of the vehicle without having the need to keep the key.
