Attendance Monitoring System

This project introduces an advanced Attendance Monitoring System that utilizes facial recognition technology to streamline the process of attendance marking. By capturing and analyzing students' facial images, the system can accurately identify individuals and automatically record their attendance, minimizing errors and reducing manual effort.

Student Registration

The system begins with student registration, where each student’s facial data is captured and stored securely. This registration process is crucial as it forms the foundation of the system, ensuring accurate identification during attendance marking. The process involves capturing multiple images of a student's face to ensure high accuracy in various conditions.

Face Detection and Attendance Marking

The core of the system is its face detection algorithm, which processes the captured images and compares them with the stored data to identify the student. Once identified, the system automatically marks the student as present. This process is quick, reliable, and requires minimal human intervention, making it ideal for large classrooms and institutions.

Technologies Used

The Attendance Monitoring System leverages several advanced technologies and libraries to ensure its effectiveness and reliability:

  • OpenCV: Used for image processing, face detection, and facial recognition.
  • Python: Core programming language for implementing the facial recognition algorithms and attendance system.
  • Numpy: Utilized for handling and processing the face data.
  • Pickle: Used for serializing and de-serializing the face data and student names.
  • Haar Cascades: Used for detecting faces in images.
  • KNeighborsClassifier: A K-Nearest Neighbors classifier from Scikit-learn used for facial recognition.
  • Win32com: Utilized to integrate speech synthesis for auditory feedback.
  • CSV: Used for recording attendance data.
  • Datetime: Used to timestamp attendance records.
