Web Scrapping

• Successfully applied the BeautifulSoup 4 library on the PYNQ board in order to parse through our specific Facebook group in order to grab the users' name and profile picture, which we then saved to the prescribed directory on the PYNQ board to be used in the facial recognition. We then used Crontab to allow the database of known people to update every hour.

Facial Recognition

• Interfaced a webcam with the PYNQ in order to take in a video feed, and were able to implement the Facial Recognition library to identify faces in real time and compare those faces found with the images that were obtained in the web scrapping. The results are then displayed on the VGA monitor, which we interfaced with the PYNQ, in real time as well.
