Class-Room Attendance System Using Image Processing

Abstract

The attendances of students is taken manually in class-rooms all across the world.This system is tedious and wastes a lot of time of the teacher and the students.It also requires too much clerical and administrative work.There are many automated systems avail- able for this already such as bio-metric systems,but these systems also waste a lot of time,because the students have to wait in a queue and touch their thumb in the de- vice.So,I propose an automated student attendance system,in which the attendance of students will be marked automatically based upon the presence of the student in the class-room.We will be using image processing to do the same.In this project we have used openCV with python.A camera is used to input the image of the class-room full of stu- dents.Then we apply face detection and face recognition algorithms to do our attendances.
