Abstract: A person's identity is revealed through their face. The method utilised to employ this physical attribute has undergone a major alteration since the introduction of image processing technologies.. Taking attendance is a crucial daily duty in many educational and professional settings. The professor calls the student's name and records the attendance in the conventional manner. It takes a lot of time to physically take attendance in a classroom, which is a very vital responsibility. It is frequently carried out manually by shouting out names or roll numbers. To expedite this process and improve time management, a Face identification-based attendance system is offered. This system will automate the time-consuming procedure by collecting student photographs, names, roll numbers, classes, and sections. A spreadsheet database that is updated hourly also contains the guide's name. Processing is performed using a web camera, and student photographs are extracted from Open CV. Using a pre-defined dataset and the Viola Jones technique, automatic attendance detection can be accomplished. The system keeps an Excel file with the most recent instructor data that is updated hourly.
