The document discusses an automated attendance system using facial recognition. It begins with an introduction to facial recognition and the motivation for developing an automated attendance system. It then reviews previous work on facial recognition algorithms such as PCA, Viola-Jones, and neural networks. The proposed system is described as using SVM on LBP features for facial recognition due to its high accuracy. Key advantages of the proposed system include being cost-efficient, easy to deploy, and preventing time fraud. The document concludes facial recognition can effectively automate attendance tracking in educational or commercial organizations.
