“Hostel Safety Measurement Using RFID And Image Processing Technique”

Abstract

This paper describes the design of RFID based security and access control system for use in hostels inside the Punjab University premises. The system combines RFID technology and biometrics to accomplish the required task. When the RFID reader installed at the entrance of the hostel detects a number, the system captures the user image and scans the database for a match. If both the card and captured image belong to a registered user, access is granted; otherwise, the system turns on the alarm and makes an emergency call to the security van through the GSM modem. In this way, the suspicious persons can be caught.
