Face Recognition and Automatic Attendance Management System using Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

An automated attendance management system maintains a record of the attendance of a particular student, whether he/she is present in the class. The most important element of the virtual platform for students is maintaining attendance in an educational institution. When done manually, it wastes a substantial amount of time and effort. Due to a lack of a reliable attendance mechanism, there were also numerous fraudulent attendances. The face is the most significant feature that distinguishes a person. As a result, the focus of this study is on an attendance system that uses a real time face identification method based on the frontal face recognition idea, as well as an efficient Haar cascade algorithm based on an open-source image processing framework as well as the Local Binary Pattern Histogram.
