Attendance Automation Using Face Recognition Biometric with MATLAB Software

Abstract

Problem statement: The existing attendance system requires students to manually sign the sheet every time they attend a class. This include the more time consumed by the students to find their name on the sheet, some students may mistakenly signed another students name and sometimes sheet may got lost. For avoiding the sheet problem, we used RFID technology. RFID card capture the attendance by flashing their card and save all the data, but sometimes RFID card may got lost. Approach: For avoiding the problem in the sheet and RFID we use face recognition and authentication using web-cam with IOT based. The system automatically detects the student’s entry in the class and marks attendance for a particular student periodically. The data collected can be used by the system further for attendance score calculation and other managerial decisions. Arduino is used to create and control the system that could automatically mark the attendance for the students. Conclusion: The result of our experiment indicates that the recognition process of the database and some images from the web-cam provides 100% accuracy in terms of recognition.
