Face Recognition Attendance Monitoring System

Abstract

Abstract: As we know attendance is the crucial part in colleges, schools, corporate offices etc. Attendance plays an important role for keeping track of student’s record. Mostly attendance is taken manually in most of the colleges and schools. The manual attendance process involves taking attendance by calling the name or by signing the attendance sheet. This manual process is very time consuming and it is difficult to maintain the attendance record. Due to this drawback of manual attendance system, there is a need of automated attendance system. Here facial recognition plays an important part for automated attendance system. This suggested study focuses on face detection algorithm to provide automated attendance system. This proposed system uses Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Deep Convolutional Neural Network for face detection and face recognition respectively to build automated attendance system.
