Automated Attendance Marking and Management System by Facial Recognition Using Histogram

In proposed system an automated attendance marking and management system is proposed by using face detection and recognition algorithms. Identification of human faces by the unique characteristics or features of their face is known as Face recognition. Currently, Face recognition technology is the fastest growing technology. Instead of using the traditional methods, this proposed system aims to develop an automated system that records the student's attendance by using facial recognition technology for those who are present during lecture hours. The main objective of this work is to make the attendance marking and management system fully automatic, simple and easy. In this work the facial recognition of face is done by image processing techniques. The processed image is used to match with the existing stored record and then attendance is marked in the database correspondingly. Compared to existing system traditional attendance marking system, this system reduces the workload of people and also saves times. This proposed system is been implemented with 4 modules such as Image Capturing, Segmentation of group photo and Face Detection, Face comparison and Recognition, Updating of Attendance in database.
