Attendance automation using face recognition biometric authentication

Attendance automation has become one of the most important needs in educational institutions and work places across the world, since it saves time and accurate too. Face recognition system needs least human cooperation and is viable too. The system automatically detects the student's entry in the class and marks attendance for the particular student periodically. The data collected can be used by the system further for attendance score calculation and other managerial decisions. Arduino is used to create and control the system that could automatically mark the attendance for the students. Thus the system reduces the manual collection of attendance and the time taken for report generation.
