INTRODUCTION

1.0 Background Of The Study

Facial Recognition and Authentication System, such as FaceNet, have gained significant attention

in recent years due to their potential applications in various fields, including online voting.

FaceNet is an advanced deep learning model that is specifically designed for face recognition

tasks. It utilizes neural network architecture to extract facial features and create a unique

representation, or embedding for each individual’s face, (Gupta and Rahman, 2018).

In the context of online voting, a facial recognition and authentication system using FaceNet can

be implemented to ensure the integrity and security of the voting process. The system would

involve capturing an individual’s face image during the registration process and creating a unique

face embedding for that person. This embedding would serve as a digital representation of their

face.

During the voting process, the system would compare the face embedding of the person

attempting to vote with the registered face embedding in the database. By analyzing the similarity

between the embeddings, the system can verify the identity of the voter and authenticate their

eligibility to cast a vote, (Liu & Zhang, 2019).

It is important to note that the implementation of facial recognition and authentication systems for

online voting using FaceNet, or any other technology, should be accompanied by robust security

measure to prevent fraudulent activities. These measures may include encryption of data, secure

storage of face embedding, and protection against spoofing attempts, (Kim & Lee, 2018).

The FaceNet model is a deep learning-based facial recognition system developed by researchers at

Google. It was introduced in a research paper titled “FaceNet”: A Unified Embedding for Face

Recognition and Clustering” by (SChroff, Kalenichenko, and Philbin, 2015).

The FaceNet model utilizes convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture to extract facial

features and generate a high-dimensional embedding for each face. This embedding is then used to
 measure the similarity between different faces, enabling accurate face recognition and clustering

(Bhattacharjee, & Das, 2019).

1.1 Problem Statement

The goal of implementing a facial recognition and authentication system for implementing a facial

recognition and authentication system for e-voting revolves around the need for a secure and

reliable method to verify the identity of voters in an online voting system. Traditional methods of

authentication, such as passwords or identification cards, may be susceptible to fraud or

impersonation. Therefore, there is a demand for a robust system that can accurately and efficiently

authenticate voters using facial recognition technology, (Sharma & Gupta, 2017).

1.2 Aims of the Study

The aim of this study is to implement facial recognition and authentication using FaceNet in an e-

voting system.

1.3 Objectives of The Study

To build facial recognition and authentication for e-voting system using FaceNet model, the

following objectives are to be followed

i. To collect or gather dataset.

ii. To design the E-voting system.

iii. To develop the facial recognition model using FaceNet.

iv. To implement E-voting system using facial recognition model.

v. To test and evaluate the implemented system.

1.4 Significance Of The Study

Implementing facial recognition and authentication systems in e-voting systems can bring several

important benefits to the community or school government.

 Facial recognition and authentication add an extra layer of security to the e-voting process. By

verifying the identity of voters through their unique facial features, the system can help prevent

impersonation and ensure that only eligible individuals participate in the voting process.

This technology can significantly reduce the risk of fraudulent activities, such as multiple voting

or identity theft. By accurately identifying individuals, the system can detect and prevent any

attempts to manipulate the voting process.

Implementing facial recognition and authentication can streamline the voting process, making it

faster and more efficient. Voters can be quickly authenticated by simply presenting their face,

eliminating the need for physical identification documents or lengthy verification procedure.

Facial recognition and authentication systems can contribute to the transparency and

trustworthiness of the e-voting process. By ensuring that each vote is associated with a verified

individual, the system can enhance the integrity of the election and instill confidence in the

community or school government.

1.5 Motivation of The Study

The motivation behind implementing facial recognition and authentication using FaceNet in an e-

voting system is primarily driven by the need to address the problem statement of ensuring the

integrity and security of the voting process. Traditional methods of online voting often face

challenges related to identity verification and potential fraudulent activities. By incorporating

facial recognition technology, the e-voting system aims to enhance the authentication process and

mitigate these concerns.

The use of FaceNet in the e-voting system offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides a reliable

and efficient means of verifying the identity of voters. By comparing the face embedding of

individual attempting to vote with the registered face embedding in the database, the system can

accurately authenticate the eligibility of voters.

Secondly, facial recognition technology can help prevent impersonation and fraudulent activities.

Since each individual’s face is unique, attempting to vote using someone else’s identity becomes
 significantly more difficult. The system can detect any discrepancies between the presented face

and the registered face embeddings, thereby reducing the risk of fraudulent

Furthermore, the implementation of facial recognition and authentication in an e-voting system

can enhance the overall security of the voting process. By utilizing advanced deep learning models

like FaceNet, the system can detect and prevent spoofing attempts, such as the use of photographs

or masks to deceive the system.

Overall, the motivation behind incorporating facial recognition and authentication using FaceNet

in an e-voting system is to address the problem statement of ensuring the integrity, security, and

authenticity of the voting process. By leveraging this technology, the system aims to enhance

identity verification, prevent fraudulent activities, and instill trust among voters in the online

voting system.

1.6 Operation Term Definition

FaceNet is a deep learning model and framework developed by Google researchers for face

recognition tasks. It utilizes neural network architecture to extract facial features and create a

unique representation, or embedding, for each individual’s face. The model is trained on a large

dataset of face images to learn discriminative features that can accurately identify and differentiate

between different faces. FaceNet’s embeddings can be used for various applications, including

face verification, face identification, and face clustering. The model has achieved state-of-the-art

performance in face recognition tasks and has been widely adopted in both research and industry

settings.

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Theoretical Concept

In this study S. J. J. Arputhamoni et al. (2021)[1], have put forth a proposition for an online voting

system that incorporates the utilization of biometric authentication, specifically in the form of

facial and fingerprint recognition. Additionally, image processing techniques and a convolutional

neural network (CNN-S) have been employed. The objective of this system is to augment the

security and precision of online voting by ensuring the authentication of voters. Biometrics

assume a pivotal role in the verification of voters, while image processing techniques are

implemented to enhance the quality of biometric data. The CNN-S is utilized for the purpose of

extracting features, thereby enhancing the overall dependability of the authentication process. The

focus of the paper is to overcome the traditional limitations associated with voting and to heighten

the security and accessibility of online voting. In this research G. PrabhuS et al. (2021)[2],

proposed the development of a secure internet voting system that addresses the limitations of

India's current offline voting system. This proposed system integrates face recognition technology

and OTP authentication to enable remote voting through computers or mobile phones, thereby

enhancing accessibility and efficiency. Furthermore, it provides the opportunity for offline voting

using RFID tags. The main objective of proposed system is to streamline the voting process,

ensure transparency, and reduce the requirement for extensive manual labor. RFID tags, issued by

the government, are utilized by offline voters and are verified by RFID card readers. Online voters

are required to register their facial features in the system, with multiple instances captured to

ensure accuracy. The voting process includes a two-step authentication process: facial recognition

and OTP verification, which uphold the security of the vote. The results can be accessed in real-

time through a central database, thereby further enhancing transparency and efficiency. According

to A. S. Andekar et al. (2022)[3],presents a novel E-voting framework predicated on facial

recognition. The framework is devised with the intention of ensuring security, convenience, and

the absence of malpractice. It employs a three-tier security model, encompassing the verification

of Aadhar ID and Unique voter ID by means of mobile number OTP verification, facial
recognition, and captcha verification. Additionally, the framework utilizes the Local Binary

Pattern Histogram (LBPH) for facial recognition, which attains an accuracy rate of 89%. The

article also delves into the potential predicaments that may arise in the operation of the system,

such as twin identification, variations in acquisition and physical appearances, as well as the

challenge of storing vast and sensitive data. The article suggests resolutions to these challenges,

such as verifying the UID number and Aadhar number by cross-referencing with the pre-

registered voter database. It also recommends ensuring a reliable internet connection, capturing

real-time facial impressions and current physiological features during registration, organizing data

through a suitable format and structure, storing it securely on the cloud, and allowing

administrators to access location-specific data stored in the cloud. In this research Nilam

Choudhary et al. (2021)[9], proposes a novel voting system that offers heightened security through

the implementation of three levels of verification. The initial level entails the creation of a

distinctive identification number for voters at the time of registration. The subsequent level

involves the diligent cross-verification of these identification numbers by the Election

Commission Officers. Lastly, the third and most pivotal level incorporates the utilization of facial

recognition technology, wherein the current facial attributes of voters are compared with those

stored in a comprehensive database, thereby mitigating the occurrence of fraudulent voting. The

research delves into an exploration of diverse facial recognition algorithms, namely Eigenfaces,

Fisherfaces, and SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features), and provides an indepth comparative

analysis of their respective performance. Eigenfaces rely on Eigenvectors for facial identification

and are founded on the principles of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Conversely,

Fisherfaces expand upon the concept of Eigenfaces by integrating both PCA and Linear

Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to yield superior outcomes, particularly in scenarios involving

fluctuations in lighting conditions and facial expressions. In contrast, SURF represents an

algorithm that facilitates scale and rotation-invariant feature detection, rendering it highly resilient

for both object and facial recognition. In this research, N. Roy, et al. (2023)[4] suggests an

original approach to enhance the security and verifiability of online voting. This approach

incorporates the utilization of one-time password (OTP) authentication and facial recognition. The
 proposed system implements a two-step verification process, where voters initially authenticate

their identity by using their Aadhaar card, and subsequently validate themselves through their face

and an OTP delivered to their mobile phone. Additionally, this system makes use of a database

containing the information of registered voters, guaranteeing that only eligible individuals are

allowed to exercise their voting rights.

2.2 Review of Related Works

Several authors have put in efforts in the field of face recognition; significant contributions are

briefed in the literature review. Vigorous technique for naturally coordinating highlights in

pictures compared to the equivalent physical point on an item observed from two discretionary

perspectives. Unlike conventional stereo matching approaches coordinating methodologies, the

presumption like no earlier information about the relative camera positions and directions.

Actually in this application this is the data wish to decide from the picture feature matches.

Highlights are distinguished in two or more pictures and portrayed utilizing affine texture

invariants. The fundamental test is the way to improve the recognition performance when

influenced by the fluctuation of non-linear effects that incorporate illumination variances, poses,

facial expressions, occlusions and so on. A robust 4- layer Convolutional Neural Network (CNN),

engineering is proposed for the face acknowledgment issue, with an answer that is equipped for

dealing with facial pictures that contain occlusions, poses, facial expressions. There are many face

recognition algorithms, just a bunch of them meet the continuous limitations of a software based

arrangement without utilizing any committed hardware engine. This paper presents a real-time and

robust solution for mobile platforms, which in general have limited computation and memory

resources as compared to PC platforms. This solution includes joining two previous real-time

implementations for mobile platforms to address the shortcoming of each implementation. The

main execution gives an on the web or on-the-fly light source adjustment for the second usage

which is seen as robust to various face postures or orientations. Pattern classification approach by

considering every pixel in an image as a coordinate in a high-dimensional space is discussed in.

Along with the upside of the perception that the images of a specific face, under fluctuating

illumination but fixed pose, lie in a 3D linear subspace of the high dimensional image space—if

the face is a Lambertian surface without shadowing. In any case, since faces are not genuinely

Lambertian surfaces and in fact produce self-shadowing; images will deviate from this linear

subspace. As opposed to explicitly projecting this deviation, linearly project the image into a

subspace in a way which limits those regions of the face with huge deviation. Design and

execution of the component extraction strategy for Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) and

Support Vector Machine (SVM) grouping technique into the traffic signs recognition application

is deliberated in. The yield of this application is the importance of the traffic sign with two

languages, Indonesia and English. In the SURF strategy, the littlest huge number of key focuses

will influence the accuracy level to perceive a picture. Face detection is the premise of all the face

processing systems, while in video the face detection issue has more special importance. By

examining the face detection dependent on Adaboost algorithm, this paper presents a quick and

good robust face detection method. Firstly, the motion region which contains faces is obtained

based on motion detection, excluding the background interference. Secondly, the Adaboost

algorithm is used to detect the face in the motion region and locate the face. The experiments

show that this method can rapidly and accurately detect human faces. The face recognition and

tracking and the advancement of the customer side of the system uses Android cell phones. For

the face recognition stage, Viola-Jones algorithm is used that isn't influenced by illuminations.

The face tracking stage depends on the Optical Flow algorithm. Optical Flow is implemented in

the framework with two component extraction strategies, Fast Corner Features and Regular

Features. Real-time robust technique is created to distinguish irises on faces with coronal axis

rotation within the normal range. The technique permits head movement without any limitations to

the background. The technique depends on anthropometric templates applied to recognize the face

and eyes. The template uses key features of the face, for example, elliptical shape, and location of

the eyebrows, nose, and lips.

METHODOLOGY

3.1 Data Collection

The data collection method for facial recognition and authentication in an e-voting system using

the FaceNet model typically involves some basic steps.

Obtain a dataset of facial images from the potential voters. This can be done by capturing images

from a webcam or mobile device camera during the voter registration process. Ensure that the

images capture various facial expressions, lighting conditions, and angles to create a diverse

dataset. Apply a face detection algorithm to automatically detect and extract faces from the

acquired images. This step involves locating the facial region within each image.

Preprocess the facial images to enhance the quality and normalize them for further analysis. This

typically includes steps such as resizing, cropping, and normalization to ensure consistency and

remove any unwanted variations.

Utilize the FaceNet model to compute a high-dimensional feature vector, or embedding, for each

face. This embedding represents the face in a numerical format that captures unique facial

characteristics and patterns.

During the registration process, associate each voter's identity with their corresponding facial

embedding. This creates a reference database of known embeddings for authorized voters in the e-

voting system. During the voting process, capture the facial image of the voter and repeat the steps

of face detection and preprocessing. Compute the embedding for the captured face using the

FaceNet model.

Compare the computed embedding of the captured face with the reference embeddings in the

enrollment database. Measure the similarity between the embeddings, typically using distance

metrics such as Euclidean distance or cosine similarity.

Apply a threshold to the similarity score to determine whether the captured face matches any of

the authorized voters' embeddings. If the similarity score exceeds the threshold, authenticate the

voter as an authorized participant in the e-voting system.

 It is crucial to implement proper security measures and encryption techniques to protect the

privacy and integrity of the collected facial data throughout the data collection process.

Additionally, conducting rigorous testing and validation procedures, as mentioned earlier, is

essential to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the facial recognition and authentication system

for e-voting purposes.

3.2 Description of the Proposed System

After conducting a comprehensive analysis of numerous research papers, our proposed Online

Voting System incorporates state-of-the-art technologies to bring about a transformation in the

traditional voting procedure, with a strong emphasis on security, accessibility, transparency, and

efficiency that is tailored specifically for online voting. Within the online framework, voters

securely access the voting platform by means of web-enabled devices, necessitating a login with

their voter ID and a one-time password (OTP) that is transmitted to their registered mobile

number. As an integral component of the stringent registration process, the voter's facial image is

captured by the camera on their device, thus ensuring the establishment of a secure and verifiable

identity. The securely stored facial image is maintained within a database, adhering strictly to

robust measures for safeguarding voter privacy. The utilization of Haar Cascade and Facenet

algorithm bolsters security by focusing on real-time face recognition during the voting process,

thereby effectively deterring instances of fraudulent voting and unauthorized entry. This

meticulous approach ensures the authentication of individuals who endeavor to cast their votes as

duly registered voters. Prior to casting a vote, the system performs face recognition in order to

further verify the genuineness of the voter, thereby contributing to the overall security of the

electoral process. The design of the system gives priority to accessibility and user-friendliness,

ensuring a positive and comprehensive electoral experience for voters. By upholding the intrinsic

security, transparency, and efficiency of the traditional voting process, this system takes an

additional step by ensuring that voters can engage in the electoral process with the utmost level of

security. Rigorous cybersecurity measures are embedded within the system, employing encryption

protocols to safeguard the integrity of voter data and the voting process. Continuous monitoring
 and updates are implemented to ensure that the system remains resilient against emerging threats,

thereby providing a dependable and robust platform for democratic participation.

3.3 Analyses of the Proposed System

The data analysis process for facial recognition and authentication in an e-voting system using the

FaceNet model involves the following steps:

i. Data Preprocessing: Preprocess the facial images captured during the authentication process to

ensure consistency and quality. This may include resizing, cropping, and normalization to

remove any unwanted variations.

ii. Face Detection: Apply a face detection algorithm to automatically detect and extract the face

region from the preprocessed images. This step is crucial as it helps extract the relevant facial

features for further analysis.

iii. Face Embedding: Utilize the FaceNet model to compute a high-dimensional feature vector, or

embedding, for each detected face. This embedding captures unique facial characteristics and

patterns, representing the face in a numerical format.

iv. Enrollment Database Comparison: Compare the computed embedding of the captured face with

the reference embeddings in the enrollment database. This step involves measuring the

similarity between embeddings using distance metrics such as Euclidean distance or cosine

similarity.

v. Thresholding: Apply a predefined threshold to the similarity score to determine whether the

captured face matches any of the authorized voters' embeddings. If the similarity score exceeds

the threshold, authenticate the voter as an authorized participant in the e-voting system.

vi. Result Generation: Based on the outcome of the similarity comparison and thresholding,

generate the result of the authentication process. Determine whether the voter is successfully

authenticated or rejected.

It is crucial to conduct rigorous testing and evaluation of the facial recognition and authentication

system to ensure its accuracy and reliability. This can involve using a diverse dataset to validate

the system's performance, including various facial expressions, lighting conditions, and angles.
 Additionally, it's important to consider and address potential challenges such as spoofing attacks

or image quality issues that may affect the accuracy of the system.

Data analysis in this context is not limited to these steps and can vary based on the specific

requirements and features of the e-voting system.

IMPLEMENTATION, RESULT AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Model Development

Training FaceNet Model: Train the FaceNet model using the preprocessed dataset. FaceNet uses

a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture to learn embeddings of facial images in a

high-dimensional space where similar faces are closer together and dissimilar faces are farther

apart.

Face Detection: Integrate a face detection module into your system to detect faces in images

captured by the e-voting system's camera. This could be done using a pre-trained face detection

model such as Haar cascades or a deep learning-based approach like Single Shot Multibox

Detector (SSD) or Faster R-CNN.

Face Alignment: Align the detected faces to ensure that they are in a consistent pose and

orientation. This step helps improve the accuracy of face recognition by reducing variations

caused by head tilt, rotation, and scale.

Feature Extraction: Use the trained FaceNet model to extract embeddings (feature vectors) from

the aligned facial images. These embeddings represent unique representations of each face in the

dataset.

Face Matching: Implement a matching algorithm to compare the embeddings of the captured face

with the embeddings of registered voters stored in the database. This could involve calculating the

Euclidean distance or cosine similarity between the embeddings and setting a threshold to

determine whether the faces match.

Authentication: If the captured face matches a registered voter's face, authenticate the voter and

allow them to proceed with the e-voting process. Otherwise, deny access and notify the voter

accordingly.

Security Measures: Implement security measures to protect the integrity of the system, such as

encryption of facial images and embeddings, secure communication protocols, and access control

mechanisms.
 Testing and Evaluation: Thoroughly test the facial recognition and authentication system using a

variety of test cases and scenarios to ensure its reliability, accuracy, and robustness. Evaluate its

performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and computational efficiency.

Deployment: Deploy the facial recognition and authentication system as part of the e-voting

system, ensuring seamless integration with other components and compliance with regulatory

requirements and privacy laws.

Monitoring and Maintenance: Continuously monitor the performance of the system in real-

world settings and perform regular maintenance to address any issues that arise, update the model

with new data periodically, and adapt to changing requirements and technologies.

4.2 Model Implementations

Model-based face recognition methods aim to construct a model of the human face that capture

facial variations. Prior knowledge of the human face is highly utilized to design the model. For

example, model-based matching derives the distance and relative position features from the

placement of internal facial elements. Model-based methods can be made invariant to size,

orientation, and lighting. The other benefits of these schemes are the compactness of the

representation of face images and rapid matching. Three different extraction methods are

distinguished (generic methods based on edges, lines, and curves; feature template based methods,

and structural matching methods that consider geometrical feature constraints). The major

disadvantage of these methods is the difficulty of automatic feature detection. Implementation any

of these methods needs arbitrary decisions on which features are important. Probably if the

features set lacks discrimination ability, no amount of subsequent processing can compensate for

the intrinsic deficiency

4.3 Result and Discussion

The investigational consequences are proved in this paper to confirm the feasibility of the

suggested face recognition technique. Also only 15% of Eigen faces with the largest Eigen values

are adequate for the recognition of a person. The best optimized solution for face recognition is

provided when both the features are combined i.e. 15% of Eigen faces with largest Eigen values

are chosen and threshold value is chosen 0.8 times maximum of minimum the Euclidean distances

from all other images of each image, it will wholly improve the recognition performance of the

human face up to 97%.

Initially multi views of a voter/person face is captured and voter details are entered with an

appropriate address, date of birth, number then it is trained and stored in a database, A Person who

wants to vote should correctly focus his/her face in front of webcam window then enter the card id

number. After doing this if voter face and id number match with the data base value then voter is

successfully complete voting. The security level of our system is greatly improved by the new

application method for each voter. The user authentication process of the system is improved by

adding face recognition in an application which will identify whether the particular user is

authenticated user or not. The recognition percentage of the scheme is protected as each individual

will have a dissimilar unique proportion. This scheme will prevent the forbidden follows like

equipping. Thus, the citizens can be sure that they alone can choose their leaders, thus exercising

their right in the democracy. The procedure of online voting has the ability to decrease or

eliminate unsolicited humanoid mistakes. In addition to its reliability, online voting can handle

multiple modalities, and provide better scalability for large elections. Online voting is also an

excellent mechanism that does not require geographical proximity of the voters. Thus, we will be

able to change the face of today’s voting system by making it corruption less. It will give a fair

chance to every leader to win on the basis of his/her talent, ability and not on the basis of strength

of money, power and rule. The range of the scheme can be elevated to the people, official or

national level via a highly protected and effective database management system that could handle

hundreds, thousands or billions of users
