# Lock/Unlock Ubuntu OS
## Introduction
We can lock and unlock our Ubuntu system using face recognition(currently only on Ubuntu).
## Article about implementation
[Automatically Locking & Unlocking Ubuntu with Computer Vision Using a Human Face!!!](https://medium.com/p/automatically-locking-unlocking-ubuntu-with-computer-vision-using-a-human-face-db35cbe312f7?source=email-7d2dbe2d619d--writer.postDistributed&sk=b7d25089643c2c719eb6e36aecfef085)
## Demo
## Requirements
Install below the required library in your local machine.
1) python 3.7
2) opencv 4.1.0
3) numpy
4) face-recognition
5) sudo apt-get install gnome-screensaver
6) sudo apt-get install xdotool
## Quick Start
I have used three python files to solve this issue.
1) **face_generate.py**
This will detect your face and save it in the dataset folder then the new folder will create with your name.
2) **face_train.py**
This python file will open the dataset folder and take your image from that and train your face using the K-nearest neighbor algorithm and face_recognition library.
3) **face_unlock.py**
This is an important python file that will detect your face using the webcam and unlock the system.
