Online Attendance Marking System Using Facial Recognition and Intranet Connectivity

Keeping up the attendance record with everyday exercises is a difficult task. The conventional method of marking staff attendance is by tapping their ID card and then using fingerprint scanner. But due to COVID-19 pandemic the attendance system of using fingerprint scanner is stalled and currently not in use. The following system depends on face recognition and intranet connectivity to keep up attendance record of facilities and staff. The paper discusses the attendance marking system that is passive (no direct contact with the scanner or sensor) and restricting the users within certain network. The main goal of this system is divided in two steps, in initial step face is snare from the front camera of the smart phone and it is then recognized in the picture and in the second step these distinguished appearances and features are contrasted with stored information in data set for confirmation.
