Description
Summary:Ensuring airport security is of paramount importance to safeguard the lives of passengers and prevent acts of terrorism. In this context, developing advanced technology for early terrorist detection is crucial. This paper presents a novel approach to enhancing security measures at airport checkpoints by applying Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms in face image recognition. Our system utilizes state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques to analyze facial features. Our research uses VGG architecture and pre-trained with face data as a CNN model. This model is used to extract face embedding features from the dataset. These embedding features are then compressed with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to obtain the meaningful feature as training data for the ANN algorithm. We trained our system using data from 500 identities data with 60 data for each identity.  This training enables our system to recognize known terrorists and individuals on watchlists by comparing the facial features of individuals passing through security checkpoints with those in the database. The proposed CNN-ANN-based face recognition system not only enhances airport security but also significantly reduces the processing time for security checks. It can quickly identify potential threats, allowing security personnel to take appropriate actions in real time ensuring a rapid response to security concerns. We present the architecture, training methodology, and evaluation of the CNN-ANN model, achieving a high accuracy of 91.16% and precision of 91.36%. Through this research, we aim to increase airport security and strengthen efforts to combat terrorism, making air travel safer and more secure for all passengers.
