3 INTRODUCTION
 An Automated Attendance Manager using Image Processing is an advanced system
designed to streamline the process of tracking and managing attendance. Leveraging the
power of image processing and facial recognition technologies, this system replaces
traditional manual or card-based methods with a contactless, efficient, and reliable
solution.
 In this system, a camera captures images or video of individuals, and image processing
algorithms detect and recognize faces in real-time. Using unique facial features, the
system identifies individuals and marks their attendance automatically. This approach
eliminates the need for manual input, reduces errors, and enhances security.
 The system is particularly useful in environments like educational institutions, corporate
offices, and large events where managing attendance for many individuals can be time-
consuming and prone to inaccuracies. By automating the process, organizations can save
time, improve record-keeping accuracy, and reduce opportunities for proxy attendance or
misuse.
 Additionally, the use of advanced AI models and biometric technologies ensures high
accuracy and adaptability to various environments, making it a cutting-edge solution for
modern attendance management.
 4 ABSTRACT
Automated attendance system is a system which will record the status of the student; whether he/she is
present in the class. Many research papers are already existing regarding this topic. Time is gold as the
famous line goes, time is very precious thing in today‘s fast changing, fast developing environment, through
the different stages of civilizations man always tried to look for ways to make his work easier. Normally in
schools and colleges, the average student count will be 50-80. Teacher has to mark student‘s attendance for
every hour. Traditionally, student‘s attendances are taken manually by using attendance sheet given by the
faculty members in class, which is a time consuming event, it is very difficult to verify one by one student in
a large classroom environment with distributed branches whether the authenticated students are actually
responding or not. Using conventional method of calling out names takes approximately 5-10 minutes for
marking attendance of entire class. It becomes complicated when strength is more. So, we implement
automated method to overcome this difficulties. The algorithm used for implementing this project is Viola
Jones Framework Algorithm, This is a Paradigmatic method for Real time Face detection. Training is slow,
but detection is very fast.

Keywords: Automated attendance system, Face detection, Viola Jones Framework, Very fast.

 This paper outlines the automated attendance management system. This system, which is
based on face detection and recognition algorithms, automatically detects the student using
web cam when he enters the class room and marks the attendance by recognizing him.
 Traditional methods of attendance tracking, such as manual roll calls and barcode scanners,
are often labor- intensive, error-prone, and susceptible to fraudulent practices. In response
to these challenges, the development of facial recognition technology has emerged as a
promising solution, offering the potential to revolutionize attendance monitoring through
automation and increased accuracy.
