The Student Attendance Controlling Based on Face Recognition by using Learning Vectorization Quantization (LVQ) Algorithm

Abstract

The verification system of Attendance has an important role in everyday life, especially in the scope of work such as offices, factories, hospitals, schools, universities, and other places that require absenteeism. One of the most important to verification is the human face recognition. There are many applications based on the human face recognition such as video monitor system, human-computer interaction, door control system and network security. In this paper, we proposed a method for Student’s Attendance controlling system based on face recognition technology by using Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) algorithm. This method will record the attendance of the students in the class room environment automatically. Our system will provide the facilities of the faculty to access the information of the students easily by maintaining a log for clock-in and clock-out time. We have developed the prototype, we then tested in the classroom of Computer Science Department, Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of North Sumatra. The result shows that the average total time taken to record the attendance of a class with 50 students are around 40 seconds.
