Attendance Monitoring Using Face Recognition?

Students attendance in the classroom is very important task and if taken manually wastes a lot of time. There are many automatic methods available for this purpose i.e. biometric attendance. All these methods also waste time because students have to make a queue to touch their thumb on the scanning device. This work describes the efficient algorithm that automatically marks the attendance without human intervention. This attendance is recorded by using a camera attached in the classroom that is continuously capturing images of students, detect the faces in images and compare the detected faces with the database and mark the attendance.
