This document proposes the development of a face recognition-based biometric attendance system using Python. It discusses motivations like reducing paperwork and increasing accuracy over traditional methods. The literature survey compares existing works using techniques like PCA, LDA, and side-face detection. The proposed system aims to detect faces, mark attendance, and detect defaulters with high accuracy. Expected outcomes include automatic operation, reliability, and productivity gains. Potential applications are in education, government, and security domains.
