Automatic attendance system using facial recognition system

Abstract

Real-time face detection is one part of the automatic face recognition system and also used in developing an independent research subject. So, there are many approaches to overcome problems in face detection. This paper introduces a new approach in automatic attendance management systems, extended with computer vision algorithms. In our proposed system real time face detection algorithms are used in integration with an existing Learning Management System (LMS), which automatically detects and registers students attending on a lecture. The system represents a supplemental tool for instructors, algorithms used in machine learning are combined with adaptive methods used to track facial changes during a longer period of time. Time consumption is lesser than traditional methods, at the same time being nonintrusive and does not interfere with the regular teaching process. The tool promises to offer accurate results and a more detailed reporting system which shows student activity and attendance in a classroom.
