Real-time security surveillance and identity matching using face detection and recognition are central research areas within computer vision. The classical facial detection techniques include Haar-like, MTCNN, AdaBoost, and others. These techniques employ template matching and geometric facial features for detecting faces, striving for a balance between detection time and accuracy. To address this issue, the current research presents an enhanced FaceNet network. The RetinaFace is employed to perform expeditious face detection and alignment. Subsequently, FaceNet, with an improved loss function is used to achieve face verification and recognition with high accuracy. The presented work involves a comparative evaluation of the proposed network framework against both traditional and deep learning techniques in terms of face detection and recognition performance. The experimental findings demonstrate that an enhanced FaceNet can successfully meet the real-time facial recognition requirements, and the accuracy of face recognition is 99.86% which fulfills the actual requirement. Consequently, the proposed solution holds significant potential for applications in face detection and recognition within the education sector for real-time security surveillance.
