Modern Attendance System - A New Way For Taking Attendance by Face Recognition

Abstract

In this digital era, face recognition system plays a vital role in almost every sector. Face recognition is one of the mostly used biometrics. It can used for security, authentication, identification, and has got many more advan- tages. Despite of having low accuracy when compared to iris recognition and fingerprint recognition, it is being widely used due to its contactless and non-invasive process. Furthermore, face recognition system can also be used for attendance marking in schools, colleges, offices, etc. This system aims to build a class attendance system which uses the concept of face recognition as existing manual attendance system is time consuming and problematic to maintain. And there may be chances of proxy attendance. Thus, the need for this system increases. Faces are detected and recognized from a camera placed inside the classroom.
