BananaScreen is an interesting little software that allows you to lock and unlock your computer using face recognition.
The software is simple to setup and use and makes unlocking your computer faster than having to type a password each time you sit down.
BananaScreen will automatically lock your computer when you move away from it.When you come back, BananScreen unlocks your computer in less time than it would take to enter your password.
How does BananaScreen work?
With a simple webcam, facial features are captured to build a statistical representation of the face. No picture is stored on your harddrive (or anywhere else) but only your face model (binary format).
Banana Screen is activated after a period of inactivity of the computer, which defaults to 60 seconds, after which access to the PC will be controlled by the program.Anyway, if the software does not 
recognize your face (you or you make a cosmetic surgery), you can always use the Windows password as a second key access to the computer.
The software allows you to register a number of different face models which allow recognition under a variety of lighting conditions and face poses, however, I’ve found that if you over train the model the systems tends to produce far too many false positives. If the model is under-trained then lighting conditions at different times of the day tend to produce too many false negatives.
Requirements:
- A correctly configured webcam
- 5MB on your harddrive
