Intelligent Face Recognition Based Students’ Attendance System

Abstract

This paper aims at developing an intelligent face recognition students’ attendance system to enhance school attendance tracking. The system is made up of four phases- database of students’ details, face detection, face recognition and attendance report. The database stores all the students’ details and images of the students’ face captured while face detection and recognition is carried out with convolutional neural network algorithms from the face recognition and opencv library. As faces are detected and recognized from live streaming video of the classroom, attendance are recorded into an excel file and then sent to a real time database. The system also contains a mobile interface through which the course instructors can access information at all time. The methodology adopted for this work is object-oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) while programming language used is Python. This work has helped immensely to eliminate the issue of proxy attendance as well as reduce the time wasted in manual attendance system. It is very beneficial to schools and other institutions where attendance is required.
