Abstract : We live within the 21st century that is that the era of contemporary technology, several ancient
problems being resolved using new innovative technologies. In educational system, regular category attending of
students’ plays a big role in performance assessment and quality observation the standard strategies practiced in
most of the establishments square measure by names or sign on papers, that is very long and insecure, we have a
tendency to measure presenting this Automatic attending System Face Recognition to beat the standard issues of
getting manual attending, the automated attending management system for convenience or information
responsibleness. The system is developed by the combination of present elements to form a portable device for
managing the scholars attending Face Recognition technology.

I. INTRODUCTION
Attendance plays a pivotal role in determining academic performance of children and youth in schools
and colleges. The regularity of attendance shows that the students are less likely to engage in delinquent or
destructive behaviour. In the traditional attendance system, a person has to check one by one if someone is absent
or not which is very time consuming. In other ways, everyone puts their signature on an attendance sheet which
is not also appropriate as anyone can easily copy signatures for others. An automatic attendance system can reduce
all the complexities, so based system that will be advantageous in educational/official sectors where regular
attendance is greatly needed. A facial recognition system is a technology which can identify or authenticate a
person from a digital image or a video stream from a video source. These systems operate indifferent methods,
they compare extracted facial features from an input image of human face within a database to recognize a person.
In recent years, face recognition from stationary and moving images has been an active and demanding research
area in the field of image processing, pattern recognition and so on. At first images with different postures of an
individual are collected as a training database. Face recognition is done for input facial images depending on their
intensity value estimation. Attendance system using face recognition consists of two steps: The first step will be
to detect the face and the second step will be to compare the detected face with the databased which is saved or
will be saved in the systems.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
An automatic student attendance system was proposed that can be utilized in small and crowded
classrooms. The implemented system detects the faces in the images and recognizes which students are present in
order to mark the attendance [ 1 ]. Designed and develop an automatic attending Management System (AMS)
supported face detection and face recognition techniques. The system employs modified Viola-Jones algorithm
for face detection, and alignment- free partial face recognition algorithm for face recognition. After successful
recognition of a student, the system automatically updates the attendance in the excel sheet. The planned system
improves the performance of existing attending management systems by eliminating manual vocation, marking
and entry of attending in institutional websites[2].

Design an automatic attendance management system for convenience or data reliability. The system is
developed by the integration of ubiquitous components to make a portable device for managing the students’
attendance using Face Recognition technology. The system can communicated via a wireless communication
device such as Bluetooth d an android cell phone app is used to convert text to speech [3].This system based on
face detection and recognition algorithms, which automatically detects the student when he enter in the class room
and marks the attendance by recognizing him. We used Viola-Jones Algorithm face detection which detect human
face using cascade classifier and PCA algorithm for feature selection and SVM for classification[4].The system
accuracy rate of the face recognition in the actual check-in, the stability of the face recognition attendance system
with real-time video processing. A face recognition attendance system based on real-time video processing is
designed, and two colleges in a province are selected for realtime check-in and inspection of student attendance[5].
III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

The different parts of the system can be grouped into four main stages. These are: i. Data Entry. ii. Dataset
Training. iii. Face Recognition. iv. Attendance Entry. These stages are discussed in the following section.
1.Data Entry: The first step is to include the faces of the students in the system for creating a dataset, which is
shown in Fig. 1. For this, continuous photos of each of the enrolled students are taken by the system from a live
video stream one person at a time, along with their names and IDs. The default setting is set to take 20 pictures at
a 2 second interval from a live video stream. It is preferred that the students have different head positioning during
this time to create a better dataset. The setting can be changed to increase the number of pictures taken to make a
more accurate dataset. A folder for each student is created with the corresponding student’s name and ID as the
label. Each of the pictures of faces is then saved in that student’s designated folder. Besides this process,
previously taken pictures of the enrolled students can be added to the dataset for making it more diverse. In this
case, the new photos will be saved in that student’s previously created folder. After every data entry, the system
is automatically trained using the currently available dataset.

2.Dataset Training: This step is automatically done after the Data Entry stage. These are stored as 128-d vectors.
For the two images belonging to the same person, this whole process is done using the face encodings function of
the face recognition library. The extracted data is then stored as a pickle file, which is used later for comparing
and recognizing faces in the next stage. This step also automatically creates a spreadsheet that contains the names
and IDs of all the students of the class, whose data has been entered in the previous stage.
3.Face Recognition: In this step, the system can be set up by putting a video camera on a good position, preferably
on the doorway faces of the students from the ongoing video stream of the camera. The detected faces are then
2
compared to the trained dataset. A confidence value is assigned to each of the matches. The match with the highest
confidence is selected and the label, which is the name and ID of the student, is extracted. If there is not a match
of a high enough accuracy, then the student is labelled as ‘Unknown’.
4.Attendance Entry: Steps of attendance entry are shown in Fig. 3. In each session of the video stream, which
would be each period of classes, the names and IDs of the recognized students are automatically logged on a daily
attendance spreadsheet along with the date, time and period name. There is also the option to calculate the total
attendance during a specific time span, which can be a semester or month or year depending on the time range.
The system can automatically calculate the total number of classes and also show the total attendance of the
enrolled students for those classes.
IV. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
First we have to open Python 3.8.5 then we have to open Idle. We have already save the program in
document. After running the program there are two tables appear the first table for already registered students and
second for new registration. For registration we have to enter our ID and Name then click take image camera will
start automatically and capture the photos then click save profile for saving the profile we have to enter the
password and press ok Profile saved successfully. we can go to the next table taking the attendance click on take
attendance the web camera well automatically Capture the images and face detected successfully. all registered
student details and attendance record with Id no, Date and Time are Stored in Excel sheet.

V. CONCLUSION
We are proposing this system to get familiar with the advance attendance system technology for having
accurate attendance record within the system as well as for introducing and adaptings new digital technology.
Face recognition is a crucial application of Image process due to its use in several fields. The planned system aims
to beat the pitfalls of the prevailing systems and provides options like detection of faces, extraction of the options, detection
of extracted options, and analysis of students' attending
