I. INTRODUCTION The Access control systems have become a crucial component in ensuring security and convenience in various environments such as offices, educational institutions, and residential buildings. The traditional methods of access control, such as keycards and passwords, have their limitations and vulnerabilities. To address these shortcomings, the Intelligent Access Control System with Automatic Door Operation project aims to develop a robust and intelligent access control system that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and automated door mechanisms. The objective of this project is to create a system that can automatically identify authorized individuals through facial recognition and open the door for them. This will not only enhance security by preventing unauthorized access but also provide convenience to users by eliminating the need for physical keys or access codes. In addition, the system will maintain a record of entry for each individual for attendance tracking or security purposes. The system will incorporate several key features to achieve its objectives. The first feature is Facial Recognition, which will utilize advanced face recognition algorithms to accurately identify individuals based on their facial features. This technology has seen significant advancements in recent years, allowing for reliable and fast identification. The second feature is Automatic Door Operation, which will control the opening and closing of the door using servo motors controlled by an Arduino board. This automation eliminates the need for manual door operation, reducing the risk of human error or negligence. Additionally, it provides a seamless user experience by automatically opening the door for authorized individuals. Firebase Integration will be another crucial component of the system, which will utilize Firebase Realtime Database for storing student information and attendance records. Firebase Storage will also be used for storing student images, which will be used for facial recognition. This integration allows for efficient storage and retrieval of data, ensuring the system operates smoothly and reliably. In order to detect any suspicious activities, an Alert System will be implemented. This system will notify administrators or security personnel in case of photo-based attacks or other suspicious behaviors. This alert mechanism will provide an additional layer of security and allow for quick response to any potential threats. 1 ©IJRASET: All Rights are Reserved | SJ Impact Factor 7.538 | ISRA Journal Impact Factor 7.894 |

LITERATUREREVIEW Access control systems have become increasingly important in ensuring the security and convenience of various environments such as offices, educational institutions, and residential buildings. Traditional access control systems, such as key cards or passwords, have their limitations in terms of security and ease of use. This has led to the exploration of alternative solutions that incorporate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and automated door mechanisms. Facial recognition technology has gained significant attention in recent years due to its ability to accurately identify individuals based on their facial features. Numerous studies have been conducted to develop and improve facial recognition algorithms. For example, in their research paper titled "Facial Recognition Algorithm Based on PCA and LDA," Li et al. (2019) proposed a face recognition algorithm that combines Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to improve the accuracy and efficiency of facial recognition. Additionally, automated door mechanisms have also been explored to enhance the convenience and efficiency of access control systems. Servo motors controlled by Arduino boards are commonly used to automate the opening and closing of doors. In their study titled "Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Access Control System Based on PLC and RFID Technology," Hu et al. (2020) developed an intelligent access control system that utilizes Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for automated door operation. In terms of data storage and management, Firebase has emerged as a popular platform due to its real-time database capabilities. It allows for efficient storing and retrieval of data, making it suitable for access control systems. In their research paper titled "Design and Implementation of an Integrated Access Control System based on Internet of Things (IoT)," Lua et al. (2021) proposed an integrated access control system that utilizes IoT and Firebase for data storage and management. While facial recognition and automated door mechanisms have proven to provide enhanced security and convenience, there are challenges and limitations that need to be addressed. One of the major challenges is the vulnerability of facial recognition systems to photo-based attacks. These attacks involve presenting a photo of an authorized individual's face to gain unauthorized access. To mitigate this risk, an alert system can be implemented to notify administrators or security personnel in case of suspicious activities, such as photo-based attacks. 2 ©IJRASET: All Rights are Reserved | SJ Impact Factor 7.538 | ISRA Journal Impact Factor 7.894 |
