Image-Based Attendance System using Facial Recognition

Abstract

In today's digital age, attendance systems utilizing facial recognition are essential in schools, universities, companies, etc. One feature of the human body that might help identify a person is the face. Using a camera, we initially built a database of various people's faces for this project, and the recognizer algorithm would use this information. The system will be prepared to take attendance on its own after the database has been established. A cross-check will be performed between the recently acquired face image and the database. The attendance will be recorded and the data immediately saved into the excel sheet if the same face's image is found in the database. This attendance-based system using Face Recognition will be developed using PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and CNN (Convolutional Neural Network).
