Automatic Attendance System using Face Recognition

Attendance in an educational institution for students is the most challenging part of the virtual platform. It wastes a lot of effort and time when it is done manually. There was also a lot of fake attendance due to lack of a good attendance system. The face is the most important thing which identifies a human. Therefore, in this paper, we work on an attendance system using a face detection algorithm in real-time using the frontal face recognition concept. In this paper, we describe an efficient algorithm of haar cascade using an open-source image processing framework known as OpenCV.
