DATA COLLECTION- Modern world is witnessing the era of computer vision (CV). How Face book tags
users in a group-photo or live video, makes us wonder. It uses facial recognition technology, a method of
identifying human face. Let’s find out how this technology can be leveraged for implementation in the
attendance monitoring system (AMS).

How does facial recognition work?

Firstly, the picture of a person is captured from a photo or video, when appeared alone or in a crowd.
The facial recog nition software reads the geometry of the face and extracts key features like distance
between the eyes, distance from forehead to chin, colour of hair etc. The difference between the
obtained facial signature and database images are calculated through different mathematical techniques
and the nearest is chosen as a best result. Finally the output indicates whether the image exists in the
database or not.

How to implement facial recognition in Attendance Monitoring?

The first step to develop a facial recognition-based attendance system is to create a database, which will
store all students’ images along with their information. Every time a new student joins the organization,
their image needs to be updated in the database as a single truth of attendance monitoring data. In
reality, CCTV footage has maximum chance of getting distorted images, so one need to have a good
collection of images stored in the database that will be used for training the machine-learning model as
well as for the final testing purpose.

Once the database is created, our objective is to check the availability of the image obtained from CCTV
footage in our database. The individual face extracted from the footage now needs to be processed. In
our day-to-day life we identify features of human face. The Convolution Neural Network (CNN) which is
a deep, feed-forward artificial neural network, is used to perform the feature extraction of the face and
then process the image and finally classify it so that one image can be distinguished from another.

MODEL

Smart student attendance system (SSAS) tracks and monitors the attendance of the students on the
basis of their presence in class. Computer Vision and Machine Learning algorithms used to mark the
attendance of their students of the organisation. The system will work on face recognition where each
student in the class will be photographed and their details will be stored in a server.

GOAL: Reduces wastage of time during normal attendance of students.

EVALUATION: attendance evaluation involves recording and analyzing student presence to evaluate how
regular and punctual they’re.
