AUTOMATIC ATTENDANCE SYSTEM BY FACE RECOGNITION USING MACHINE LEARNING

Uniqueness of an individual is in his face. In this project, face of an individual is used formarking the attendance automatically. Attendance of the student is considered to be an important tool for various institutions such asschool, college and university. Conventional method requires calling outloud the name or roll numberof students in order to record attendance. This process consumes at least 5-10 minutes of a 60 minute lecture. To stay away from such losses, an automatic process is used in this project which is based on image processing. In this project facialdetection and recognition is used. Face detection is used to locate the position of face region and face recognition is used for marking the understudy's attendance. The database of all the students in the class is stored and when the face of the individual student matches with one of the faces stored in the database then the attendance is recorded
