# 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.

## Contributing

Code contributions are also very welcome. feel free to open an issue for that too.

To do:

- [ ] Support Windows and Mac OS.
