Passive and automatic face recognition

Hy guys. At school we use badge for mark who is present, for my exam i want to upgrade that system. I would like to create a face recognition system, basically i would like to set a raspberry with camera over the doors, like that, when students pass the door will be automatically marked as present.

I know OpenBR but i didn't understand if i can use it for my project, and i have some issues with it, i can't install it, it return me an error when i test it.

I ask you if you know if OpenBR can do the trick for me (you have to know that we are a lot at school), or if there are some other technologies that i can use.

You use Raspberry Pi for your project, so

Software:

1.OpenCV-Python is a very good choice.

2. SimpleCV is more simple to use but less power than OpenCV. It's still ok for your purpose.

Hardware:

You also need to be aware of hardware, using USB Webcam is not a good choice because of slow speed.

Module camera is better because it uses serial interface to transfer data.

You could look at using opencv to train an object detector to look for the badge:

http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/doc/user_guide/ug_traincascade.html

If each of the badges have some unique identifier for the students, you could then analyse the identifier to take attendance.

Identifying the badge / face would be the "easy" part. Identifying the student would be the hard part!

Identifying people from photos is tricky, and I would estimate that Facebook has spent millions on this problem.

Here are a couple of links that may be useful

OpenCV identify person with face detection
