TITLE – Face Detection Attendance system

Abstract:
Maintaining the attendance is essential in every one of the foundations for checking the
performance of students or employee. Each organization has their own technique to maintain
their discipline in attendance. Traditionally student’s attendance is taken physically by
utilizing participation sheet, given by the employee in class. In this experiment what we are
doing is to make a system which identify the student by face detection or face recognization.
This participation is recorded by utilizing a camera connected as a part of front of classroom
that is continuously catching pictures of students, detect the faces in image and contrast the
distinguished appearances and the database and mark the attendance .By this experiment we
implemented and it shows the improvement of the performance of the attendance.
1. Introduction:
Recently face detection is attracting much attention in society of network multimedia
information access. Maintaining the attendance is essential in every one of the foundations
for checking the performance of students. Each organization has its own technique.
Traditionally student’s attendance is taken physically by utilizing participation sheet, given
by the employee in class. The Current participation stamping techniques are repetitive and
tedious. Physically recorded participation can be effortlessly controlled. Besides, it is
exceptionally hard to confirm one by one student in a substantial classroom environment with
disseminated branches whether the verified students are really reacting or not. Consequently
this paper is proposed to handle every one of these issues. Framework is such that it uses face
detection and recognition algorithms which automatically detect and registers student
attending on a lecture. Face detection and recognition is often referred to as, analyses
characteristics of a person's face image input through a camera. It measures overall facial
structure, distances between eyes, nose and mouth. Hence, this system handles all the issues
which occurred in traditional system. The proposed attendance system mainly consists of
Four phases; Image acquisition, Face Detection, Feature Extraction, Face Recognition. The
working of the system is depicted as follows:
A. Image Acquisition: The system consists of a camera that captures the images of the
classroom and sends it to the image pre-processing. Then that image is sends for face
detection.
B. Face Detection: This process separates the facial area from the rest of the background
image. The faces which are stored in the database.
C. Feature Extraction: Feature extraction is done for distinguishing faces of different
student.In this system,eyes, nose and mouth are extracted.Feature extraction is helpful in face
detection and recognition.
D. Face Recognition: The face image is then compared with the stored image.If the face
image is matched with the stored image then the face is recognized.Then for that particular
student the attendance is recorded.
The system is developed for deploying an easy and a secure way of taking down attendance.
The software first captures an image of all the authorized persons and stores the information
into database. The system then stores the image by mapping it into a face coordinate
structure. Next time whenever the registered person enters the premises the system
recognizes the person and marks his attendance along with the time.

2. Problem Statement:
To solve the problem of proxy methods used by student and to overcome the problem of
attendance by face detection.
3. Literature Review:

4. Objectives:
To study about face detection attendance using Java.
5. Methodology:
