Streamlined Workforce Management System Using AI

Abstract

In today's digital landscape, face recognition technology has emerged as a versatile and non-invasive tool used across sectors, despite its lower accuracy compared to iris or fingerprint recognition. Its applications range from security and authentication to optimizing attendance systems in educational institutions and workplaces. This paper introduces an innovative class attendance system employing face recognition technology, replacing manual processes prone to inaccuracies like proxy attendance. The system involves database creation from student images, utilizing Haar-Cascade classifiers for face detection, and Local Binary Pattern Histogram algorithms for live recognition from classroom video streams. It automates attendance data distribution to faculty members, enhancing efficiency and precision. Simultaneously, the security industry necessitates alert and vigilant security personnel to prevent breaches. A sophisticated hybrid system, leveraging machine learning techniques like OpenCV and EAR/MAR algorithms alongside UHD cameras, detects guard drowsiness and alerts them promptly using sound cues and preventive measures, ensuring continual vigilance. This innovative hybrid system fortifies security guard surveillance, mitigating potential vulnerabilities due to lapses in attentiveness.
