A contactless system became necessary for smart mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are many touchpoints in
private and public areas where contact is essential, such as intelligent transportation systems for vaccine carriers, patient
ambulances, elevators, metros, buses, hospitals, and banks. A secured contactless device reduces the chances of COVID-19
infection spread. Several devices use smart cards, fingerprint identification, or code-based access. Most of these devices require
some form of touch. The cost of such devices varies, depending on their capability and intended use. Sensors developed by
using artificial intelligence (AI) to provide secured access are an emerging area. This paper presents an AI-powered contactless
face recognition system. The solution has the Internet of Things (IoT) enabled access system. To identify a person, it uses AI
assistance for face recognition with the help of Python Dlib’s facial recognition network. Dlib offers a wide range of
functionality across several machine learning sectors and is open-source. The Arduino Uno (ATmega328P) and STK500
protocol has been used for communication to testify and validate the performance of the proposed technique. The objective is
to detect and recognize faces by the proposed contactless approach. The obtained result shows 92% accuracy, 94% sensitivity,
96% precision and FRR 6% for face detection. There is a significant improvement in FRR in our work compared to the
published 27.27%. The implemented solution in this paper provides accurate and secure contactless access to conventional,
readily available techniques in public health safety.
