This document describes the design and development of an embedded-based facial recognition system using UDOO Android. The system uses low-cost hardware consisting of a UDOO quad board with an OV5640 camera module and 7-inch touchscreen. Android KitKat 4.4.2 is used as the operating system. Facial recognition is implemented using the OpenCV library and Local Binary Pattern Histogram algorithm to identify and verify individuals from digital images with low implementation and maintenance costs. The system was tested and implemented successfully in laboratories.
