Face Recognition Based Attendance System Using OpenCV Python

Abstract

When it comes to the most productive image processing application, face recognition considered to be the most reliable one and its role in technical field is incredible. Attendance marking system using face recognition is a procedure of marking attendance of student via matching face of a student with their stored biometric facial measurements. This system is developed to remove the pen paper marking attendance to save time, energy and increase accuracy. What method we are using nowadays to mark attendance is tedious and time-energy consuming. Attendance records can be easily manipulated because of lenient security but this system store attendance record in excel sheet in database of computer which is more secure than normal method of marking attendance. Teachers won't be carrying attendance record with them daily; extra burden will be reduced. The system will be tested under various parameter like illumination, variation of the distance between student and camera, head movement etc. After all this testing, accuracy and productivity of system can be finalized. The proposed system provides efficient way of marking attendance. This system can be used mark attendance with mask too. Also, multiple student attendance can be marked, hence reducing time and efforts.
