Smart Attendance System using Face Recognition

To maintain a discipline and let students grasp utmost knowledge in schools, colleges and universities the attendance system was introduced. There are two conventional techniques to mark attendance of students in a particular class. One of them is by calling the roll number and the second is to take students sign on a piece of paper against their roll number. Hence there was a need to evolve this system in such a way that it could become user friendly, less time consuming and efficient. This is an automated system to assist the faculty in taking attendance of the whole class without any disturbance or time waste. The idea can encompass a large number application one of which include face identification, it will help save time and efficiently identifies and eliminates the chances of proxy attendance. The main purpose of this project is to built automated attendance system using Raspberry pi 3B+ with OpenCV/Python libraries and recognizer algorithm have been implemented. The proposed system can be implemented in any field where attendance system is present and plays a vital role. In addition, as the project objectives and the design criteria all met, it’s greatest to say this project is an engineering solution for all university and colleges to track and manage the attendance.
