The next section of the thesis (section 2) covers the overall design of the system.
Section 3, 4 and 5 concerns the motion detection module, face detection module and face 
recognition module respectively. In each of these sections the different approaches are 
discussed where appropriate. The performance of some of the approaches is also considered. 
At the end of each section the implementation is explained. 
The various tasks performed in the actions module in the event of unrecognised face are 
discussed in section 6. 
The choice of software used for the GUI development is justified in the beginning of section 7. 
In the second half of this section the implemented GUI and its features are explained. 
Before testing all the modifications and improvements made to the implementations are 
discussed in detail in section 8. 
The test setup and the results obtained are part of section 9. The results are also analysed in 
the same section. 
Possible applications of this system are talked about in section 10. Also the software is 
released to the public in section 11. 
Section 12 is the conclusions section where the individual modules and the whole system’s 
relative performance are discussed. 
Further work is suggested in section 13 which is then followed by references and the 
appendix. 
Where ever a code reference is made or a function is seen, the use of that can be checked in 
the code provided in the optical media supplied with this thesis. 
There is a glossary available in the appendix. All abbreviations used are expanded here. 
Software used summary sheet is also included here.
