Face Recognition Attendance System
Overview
The Face Recognition Attendance System is an innovative solution that automates the
process of recording student or employee attendance using facial recognition technology.
By leveraging computer vision and machine learning, this system captures live images from
a webcam, detects and recognizes faces in real time, and logs attendance data automatically
into a centralized record system. It eliminates the need for manual entry, reduces the
chances of proxy attendance, and ensures accuracy and security in attendance management.
Problem Statement
Traditional attendance systems, such as manual registers, RFID cards, and biometric
fingerprint scanners, present several challenges. Manual methods are time-consuming,
prone to human error, and susceptible to manipulation. RFID and fingerprint systems
require physical contact or accessories, which can lead to hygiene issues and logistical
complexity. These systems also do not offer real-time attendance tracking or facial
verification. Therefore, there is a need for a contactless, secure, and efficient attendance
system that addresses these issues using modern technologies.
Objectives
The primary objectives of the Face Recognition Attendance System are:
1. To develop an automated system that records attendance based on facial recognition
using OpenCV and Python.
2. To increase accuracy and security in attendance tracking, minimizing the risk of proxy
attendance.
3. To design a user-friendly interface that allows real-time detection, recognition, and
attendance logging.
4. To implement a cost-effective and scalable solution that can be used in schools, colleges,
and corporate offices.
