The system can quickly and accurately identify the identity of the user, refuse unauthorized personnel to enter, and ensure the safety of the area.
[0003] The property access control recognition system in the prior art generally uses a camera for face recognition. When the user wears a shielding object (helmet, mask, scarf, etc.), the shielding object covers the nose, mouth and other key feature areas of the face, which will directly lead to the system being unable to effectively extract complete face feature information, and thus greatly reduces the probability of face recognition passing, making it difficult to meet the identity verification needs in different use scenarios.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of the present application will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0015] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present application will become apparent and be readily understood from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a smart property access control system according to the present application; Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a working flowchart of the smart property access control system according to the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention. Rather, embodiments of the invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0017] The intelligent property access control system of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] like Figures 1-2 As shown in the figure, an intelligent property access control system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a multimodal biometric module, an environmental sensing module, a data processing module, a data storage module, and a data management module. The multimodal biometric module integrates a camera module, a fingerprint module, and an iris module to collect personnel biometric features, including facial features, fingerprints, and irises. In obstructed scenarios, it automatically switches to iris recognition, and the recognition information is transmitted to the data processing module in real time.
[0019] It should be noted that the automatic switching mechanism of the multimodal biometric module relies on the real-time monitoring data of the environmental perception module. When the environmental perception module detects an obstruction covering the key area of the face, it will immediately send a switching command to the multimodal biometric module to complete the seamless transition from face recognition to iris recognition. This dynamic switching mechanism not only improves the recognition accuracy, but also avoids the risk of system paralysis due to the failure of a single recognition mode.
[0020] The environmental perception module integrates an ambient light sensor and an occlusion detection camera to monitor the ambient light intensity and the type of occlusion in real time, and transmits the data to the data processing module in real time.
[0021] It should be noted that the ambient light sensor can automatically adjust the exposure parameters of the camera module and the occlusion detection camera according to the intensity of external light, ensuring that clear images of human biometric features can be captured under different lighting conditions.
[0022] The data processing module is used to process biometric data and occlusion data, and uses multimodal feature fusion algorithms and occlusion detection algorithms to analyze and compare the collected data to identify the person's identity.
[0023] The data processing module uses an occlusion detection algorithm to identify the type and location of occlusions, and generates a complete facial image based on the unoccluded areas. The occlusion detection algorithm specifically includes the following steps: The input data is preprocessed to reduce noise interference. Specifically, histogram equalization or adaptive contrast enhancement is used to improve facial details in low-light or backlit images. Bilateral filtering or non-local mean denoising is used to smooth noise while preserving edge information. The images are uniformly scaled to 256×256 pixels to adapt to the input requirements of subsequent models.
[0024] To identify the occlusion category, an occlusion detection model is first constructed. Then, a convolutional neural network is used to extract multi-scale features of the image, output the category label and location coordinates of the occlusion, merge overlapping bounding boxes, and retain the most likely target occlusion.
[0025] The occluded facial regions are marked to provide a mask for image inpainting. Specifically, the preprocessed image is input, and a pixel-level classification map is generated through an encoder-decoder structure. The probability of each pixel belonging to "occluder" or "face" is output to generate a binary mask.
[0026] Separate the unoccluded facial regions as a reference for generating the complete image. Specifically, invert the occlusion mask to obtain the unoccluded region mask (1=unoccluded, 0=occluded). Extract RGB image blocks of the unoccluded parts (such as the forehead and skin around the eyes) based on the mask.
[0027] A complete facial image is generated based on the unoccluded area, restoring the details of the occluded part, optimizing the generation result, and obtaining biological facial features. Specifically, the unoccluded area image and the mask are encoded into low-dimensional feature vectors, and the feature vectors are progressively upsampled to generate the repaired facial image. The authenticity of the generated image is judged, forcing the generator to output more natural facial details and improving the visual authenticity of the generated image.
[0028] It should be noted that the core purpose of this "generating a complete facial image" step is to infer and supplement the feature information of the occluded area based on the unoccluded part, so that a more accurate and robust overall facial feature vector can be extracted for identity matching, rather than necessarily generating a complete photo that can be viewed visually.
[0029] The data processing module uses a multimodal feature fusion algorithm to analyze and compare the collected biometric data to identify individuals. The multimodal fusion algorithm employs a weighted fusion strategy, dynamically adjusting weights based on the recognition confidence levels of face and iris scans. Specifically, it includes the following steps: Facial features and iris features are extracted separately. When a user's facial features are obscured by an occlusion, the facial image data is processed by an occlusion detection algorithm and automatically switched to iris recognition mode.
[0030] Based on the real-time recognition confidence of face and iris and occlusion interference factors, the weight ratio of the two modalities is dynamically adjusted, specifically: The face weight is set to 0.6 by default, and the iris weight is 0.4. When the confidence of either modality is lower than the threshold (e.g., face confidence < 0.7), dynamic weight adjustment is initiated.
[0031] Weighting adjustment rules: Confidence-driven: Weights are proportional to modal confidence.
[0032] For example: if the face confidence score is 0.8 and the iris confidence score is 0.9, then the adjusted weights are: Face weight = 0.8 / (0.8+0.9)≈0.47; Iris weight = 0.9 / (0.8+0.9)≈0.53; If the confidence level of a face drops to 0.4 due to mask obscuring it, while the confidence level of an iris is 0.95, then the weights are adjusted as follows: Face weight = 0.4 / (0.4+0.95)≈0.3; Iris weight = 0.95 / (0.4+0.95)≈0.7.
[0033] The adjusted modal weights are multiplied by their corresponding confidence levels and then summed to generate a comprehensive recognition score. This score is then compared with a preset threshold to determine the legitimacy of the user's identity. Specifically, if the comprehensive score is greater than or equal to the preset threshold (e.g., 0.8), the user is considered a legitimate user, and the unlocking command is triggered.
[0034] It should be noted that automatically switching to iris recognition mode essentially refers to an adjustment in the focus of the acquisition and recognition strategy. When there is no obstruction, the system simultaneously acquires face and iris information, but gives higher weight to facial features for fusion decision-making. When severe obstruction is detected, the system does not completely shut down face recognition, but attempts to repair features through algorithms, while actively shifting the focus of acquisition and recognition to the iris, and correspondingly significantly increasing the proportion of the iris in the fusion weight, thereby achieving a seamless high-precision recognition transition.
[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the data storage module is used to store personnel biometric data, environmental perception data, and identification record information, while also providing data backup and recovery functions.
[0036] The data storage module integrates a storage device and a database. The storage device is used to locally store system data, including personnel biometric data, environmental perception data, identification record information, and access control permission settings. The database has a data synchronization function, which performs regular synchronization with the cloud data center to achieve data backup and recovery.
[0037] It should be noted that the local storage is a hard drive, and the storage uses a redundant array design. When a single storage unit fails, the system can automatically switch to a backup unit to ensure the security of data storage.
[0038] When local storage fails or data is lost, the system can be quickly restored by backing up data in the cloud, ensuring the data security and business continuity of the access control system.
[0039] The data management module is used to manage system data, as well as to input and query personnel information. Specific functions include: when inputting personnel information, it supports batch import and single addition, and the input fields cover name, employee number, department, fingerprint template, iris feature code, face image, access control permission group, etc.; the query function supports multi-dimensional combination search by name, employee number, department, etc., and returns basic personnel information and the 10 most recent access control records.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an access control controller, which receives the identification results from the data processing module and controls the opening or closing of the electromagnetic lock according to preset rules. When the identification result is an authorized person, the access control controller sends an opening signal to the electromagnetic lock. After receiving the signal, the electromagnetic lock performs the opening action, allowing the person to pass. When the identification result is an unauthorized person or the identification fails, the access control controller does not send an opening signal, and the electromagnetic lock remains closed, preventing the person from passing.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system also includes a card reader connected to the access control controller. The card reader reads the access control card information held by the user and transmits the read information to the access control controller. Upon receiving the access control card information, the access control controller compares it with the personnel information stored in the data management module. If the information matches and conforms to preset access control permission rules, the controller opens the electromagnetic lock. The system also includes an alarm connected to the access control controller. When the access control controller detects an abnormal situation, it triggers the alarm to emit an alarm signal.
[0042] In practical applications, when a user approaches the access control system, they can unlock via fingerprint or biometric recognition. When biometric unlocking is used, the multimodal biometric module is activated first, with the camera module and iris module working together to collect the person's biometric information. If the environmental perception module detects an obstruction on the face, such as a mask or hat, it will immediately send a switching command to the multimodal biometric module, causing it to automatically switch to iris recognition mode to ensure the accuracy of the recognition. The collected biometric data and obstruction data are transmitted to the data processing module in real time. The data processing module first uses the obstruction detection algorithm and the multimodal feature fusion algorithm to analyze and compare the data to identify the person's identity and determine the legitimacy of the person's identity.
[0043] If the person is identified as an authorized person, the data processing module sends the identification result to the access control controller. The access control controller then opens the electromagnetic lock according to preset rules, allowing the person to pass. If the person is identified as an unauthorized person or the identification fails, the access control controller does not send an opening signal, and the electromagnetic lock remains closed.
[0044] In addition, if a user has an access card, the card reader will read the access card information and transmit it to the access control controller. The access control controller will compare the information read with the personnel information stored in the data management module. If the information matches and conforms to the preset access control permission rules, it will also control the electromagnetic lock to open.
[0045] In summary, the smart property access control system of this invention achieves high-precision recognition in occluded scenarios through the collaborative work of a multimodal biometric module and an environmental perception module, and by recognizing biometric information through a data processing module. It automatically switches to iris recognition mode when the face is obscured and employs a weighted fusion strategy to effectively improve the recognition pass rate. Simultaneously, in conjunction with an obstruction detection algorithm, it automatically generates details of the obscured portion, realizing a dual recognition guarantee mechanism, further improving the recognition accuracy in occluded scenarios and ensuring the reliability of the access control system.
