Face Recognition Based Attendance System

This document proposes a face recognition based attendance system to address drawbacks of manual, biometric, and RFID-based systems. It would use a Raspberry Pi camera to detect and recognize student faces, updating an attendance sheet. The system has two modules - a mobile app to capture faces and a program to recognize faces from images and mark the student register database. Face recognition is more cost effective and only requires one-time student face registration. Popular algorithms supported in OpenCV include Eigenfaces, Fisherfaces, and LBPH.

FACE RECOGNITION

BASED ATTENDANCE
SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Methods for taking attendance :
1. Manual Marking
2. Biometrics
3. RFID based

While the Manual marking takes a lot of time and


the precious lecture time get wasted .
And Biometric method is very expensive and the
maintenance cost is high
RFID can easily be fooled , a student can carry ID
card of another Student hence his attendance
will also be marked as present
 To cope up with above drawbacks of the
mentioned method another method can be used
i.e. – Face Recognition
 It is cost efficient

 It takes one time effort to register the faces of the


students into the system

PROCESS
 Detect Faces in real time
 To recognize the detected faces via suitable
algorithm
 Update the attendance sheet after successful
match
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
 We are setting up to design a system comprising
of two modules. The first module (face detector) is
a mobile component, which is basically a camera
application that captures student faces and
stores them in a file using computer vision face
detection algorithms and face extraction
techniques. The second module is a application
that does face recognition of the captured images
(faces) in the file, marks the students register
and then stores the results in a database for
future analysis.
ADVANTAGE OF FACE RECOGNITION
 The use of automatic attendance through face
detection and recognition will increase the
effectiveness of attendance and time
management.
 It is cost effective
COMPONENT REQUIRED
 Hardware :
 Raspberry Pi
 Camera Module

 Software
 OpenCV library (For face Detection )
 Haar Cascade feature (For face Recognition )
APPROACHES FOR FACE RECOGNITION
The different approaches of face recognition are : -
 Holistic Approach – In this, the whole face region is
taken as an input in face detection system to perform
face recognition.
 Feature-based Approach – where the local features
on the face such as the noise and eyes are segmented
and then fed to the face detection system to ease the
task of face recognition.
 Hybrid Approach – In hybrid approach, both the
local features and the whole face are used as input to
the detection system, this approach is more similar to
the behaviour of human beings in recognizing faces
ALGORITHM FOR FACE RECOGNITION
 The Most Popular algorithms are:
1. Principal Component Analysis based Eigenfaces.
2. Linear Discriminate Analysis.
3. Elastic Bunch Graph Matching using the fisher face
algorithm
4. The Hidden Markov Model
5. Neuronal Motivated Dynamic Link Matching.

OpenCV library supports only first 3 algorithm namely


1. Eigenface

2. FisherFace

3. LBPH
