This paper is about the biometric attendance management. The automatic attendance management will replace the manual method, which takes a lot of time consuming and difficult to maintain. There are many biometric processes [10], in that face recognition is the best method. In this paper we are going to describe the attendance without human interference. In this method the camera is fixed in the classroom and it will capture the image, the faces are detected and then it is recognized with the database and finally the attendance is marked. If the attendance is marked as absent the message about the student's absent is send to their parents. There are various methods for comparing the faces. The Eigen face is the one of the method. Eigen faces is set of Eigen vectors which are used in computer vision problem of face recognition.
