I'm on training period in a laboratory (I'm studying informatic). My project consist of increasing the scientit's confort in a room where a Raspberry Pi will be installed. I have not to realize the project ! I just have to determinate what is possible and eventually how to do it (in the big lines, but not myself). (They need to have a small computer just for in/out stock). To avoid them to use their hand to login every single time they'll be in this room for in/out products for their experiments (many time a day), I thought Facial Authentication was the perfect mean of login.
Whoever (shikashi) I searched on internet and never get a complete response. I found many things but nothing concrete.
Is that possible to "unlock" the Pi with facial recognition (OpenCV, Pam Face Authentication) ? I just want them to tap on the screen, select "Facial Authentication" then the Pi will unlock after the match ... Can we do this ? how can we setup this (I repeat I'm not asking for a whole code I havn't to realize the project but I have to explain in the big lines if the thing is possible)
So I saw than
here : https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/pam/The Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) library is a generalized API for authentication-related services which allows a system administrator to add new authentication methods simply by installing new PAM modules. and "You can use this module for any service that requires authentication, internally handled by the PAM library."
So I search if Raspbian (the only one I know) have this "PAM" library, and I finaly found this :
here : viewtopic.php?f=66&t=134194PAM is already installed and enabled in Raspbian.
I'm still confused, if you have an idea how to proceed, I'll be so happy ! is this possible ? how to do it in big lines ?
Thank you by advance mates !
