ABSTRACT
The advancement of computer vision and artificial intelligence has led to the development of
innovative systems that reduce manual tasks and improve efficiency. One such application is
an automated attendance system using facial recognition technology. Traditional methods of
recording attendance, such as manual entry or RFID-based systems, are prone to errors and
misuse, including proxy attendance. This project proposes a solution by leveraging Python-
based facial recognition libraries to create a contactless, secure, and efficient attendance
system suitable for academic and professional environments.
The system functions by capturing a student’s face through a webcam and matching it with
pre-stored encodings linked to their unique roll number. Using powerful libraries such as
OpenCV and face_recognition, the application detects and recognizes faces in real time with
high accuracy. Once a match is confirmed, the attendance is recorded along with a timestamp
in a local SQLite database. The GUI, developed using Tkinter, allows for easy management
of the attendance data, new student registrations, and viewing reports.
This system not only increases accuracy but also saves valuable time during classroom
sessions. Its modular structure allows future integration with cloud storage and mobile apps.
With minimal hardware requirements and open-source software, it is a cost-effective solution
for educational institutions looking to upgrade their attendance process using modern
technology.
