ABSTRACT

Biometrics technologies verify identity through characteristics such as fingerprints, faces, irises, retinal patterns,
palm prints, voice, hand-written signatures, and so on. These techniques, which use physical data, are receiving
attention as a personal authentication method that is more convenient than conventional methods such as
password or ID cards because it uses data taken from measurements and such data is unique to the individual and
remains so throughout one’s lifetime. Geo-tagging is the process of adding geographical information to various
media in the form of metadata. The data usually consists of coordinates like latitude and longitude, but may even
include bearing, altitude, distance and place names. By combining the above services, we can help the public and
private sector offices like Survey Department, Revenue Department, Electricity department, Telephone
Department, Public Works Department (PWD), Transport Department (NH, KSRTC etc.) to take care of the
employee’s attendance by asking them to install this proposed application in their smart phone.

Keywords: Geo-Tagging, Multilingual, Finger- Printing, GPS.
