 Traditionally, student’s attendances are taken manually by using
attendance sheet given by the faculty in class, which is a time consuming
event.

 Moreover, it is very difficult to verify one by one student in a large

Class-room environment with distributed branches whether the
authenticated students are actually responding or not.

 FACE RECOGNITION technology is gradually evolving to a universal

biometric solution since it requires virtually zero effort from the user end
while compared with other biometric options. It is accurate and allows for
high enrolment and verification rates.

 A facial recognition is a computer application
for automatically identifying or verifying a
person from a digital image or a video frame
from a video source.
 One of the ways to do this is by comparing
selected facial features from the image and a
facial database.

5
 The implementation of face recognition technology
includes the following three stages :
 Image acquisition.
 Image processing.
 Face image classification and decision
making.

 Facial-scan technology can acquire faces from
almost any static camera or video system that
generates images of sufficient quality and resolution.
 High-quality enrolment is essential to eventual
verification and identification enrolment images
define the facial characteristics to be used in all
future authentication events.

 Images are cropped and colour images are normally
converted to black and white in order to facilitate
initial comparisons based on gray scaled
characteristic.
 First the presence of faces or face in a scene must
be detected. Once the face is detected, it must be
localized and Normalization process may be
required to bring the dimensions of the live
facial sample in alignment with the one on the
template.
10
 All facial-scan systems attempt to match visible facial
features in a fashion similar to the way people recognize
one another.
 The features most often utilized in facial-scan systems are
those least likely to change significantly over time: upper
ridges of the eye sockets, areas around the cheekbones,
sides of the mouth, nose shape, and the position of major
features relative to each other.

11
 Every face has atleast 80 distinguishable parts
called nodal points.

12
 HERE ARE FEW NODAL POINTS
BELOW :
- Distance between the eyes
- Width of the nose
- Depth of eye sockets
- Structure of the cheek bone
- Length of jaw line

13
 A general face recognition software conducts a
comparison of these parameters to the images in its
database.
 Depending upon the matches found, it determines the
result.
 This technique is known as feature based matching and
it is the most basic method of facial recognition.

14
 Primary application being used in classrooms to take the
attendance of the students.
 Decrease the false attendance.
 ATM : The software is able to quickly verify a customer’s
face.
 Healthcare : Minimize fraud by verifying identity.
