ABSTRACT
Managing time attendance of staff in organizations
has proven to be a challenging endeavor. Manual methods
have been proposed in capturing employees’ attendance but
there are inadequacies in measuring the performance of
employees. This paper aims at promoting staff efficiency at
work by developing a secure attendance management system
for use in tertiary institutions via two subsystems; Fingerprint
biometrics as a method of identification and authentication
and Question-Answering module for staff performance rating.
The system uses staff fingerprints stored in the database upon
registration for carrying out the process of attendance and
validate staff lectures’ requirements. It is accentuated by
creating a question-answering module that allows students to
answer some questions on each available and registered staff,
hence, giving a more concentrated content about staff’s
activities within the school. The evaluation was carried out
based on the matching efficiency and attendance accuracy of
the proposed system. The proposed system performed
excellently with 98.51% attendance accuracy based on the
high successful staff identification recorded. Hence, staff
performance rating was generated, thereby creating an avenue
for determining promotion grounds.

I. INTRODUCTION
Attendance management of staff in institution can
be challenging using the conventional method of paper
sheets and old file system method. Every academic
institution poses some standards concerning how attendance
is to be confirmed for various activities such as student and
lecturers in class sessions, laboratory sessions and
examination halls, how many times lecturers deliver
lectures and other academic duties in the institution [2].
With the rise of globalization, many institutions are
perusing different methods and technique that can improve
their employees’ productivity. The essence is to keep track
of attendance of staffs. Many institutions have achieved this
through the manual method of paper-based attendance [1].
However, implementing staff attendance in various
teaching institutions using this method has become very
rigorous and time consuming. Monitoring and computing
the average number of lectures delivered for attendance in
order to rate their performance based on a time frame has
also proven difficult [3].
In big educational institutions, attendance
monitoring tends to be faced with great risks which are
rampant in verifying staff lecture attendance. Some of the
risks include failure to attend classes for maximum number
of times, deliver quality lectures with time allotted,
forfeiting lecture deadlines, loss of lecture attendance data
etc. Moreover, there is low level of efficiency on the use of
the attendance data stored for data analytics and usage for
promotional processes. Buttressing these issues, academic
staffs in some institutions often disregard the importance
and competencies to deliver their academic duties mostly in
the area of lecture and content delivery. Sometimes, they
miss lectures, and other times, the content delivered for
students are not up-to-date and therefore lack the basic goal
of knowledge-driven education.
The manual method involves lecturers giving an
attendance sheet for students to write their names and
signatures as a way of confirming their presence for a
particular class session. This can help to keep track of the
students’ attendance, but falsification may occur when a
student signs on behalf of his or her colleague as being
present in class which can be difficult to prevent especially
for large classes where headcount can takes longer time.
This also applies to staff attendance monitoring regarding
compliance with lecture timetable, number of lectures
delivered, teaching readiness, skills, content delivery,
relationship with students and other staff, research
capability for the essence of performance rating and
promotion. A better solution for this manual system of
taking staff attendance during lecture delivery, is the use of
biometrics characteristics for authentication and verification
and question answering module for staff performance
rating.
Fingerprint Biometrics is one of the most
successful applications of biometric technology. Fingerprint

identification is the oldest method that has been
successfully used in various applications. Each of our ten
fingerprints is different from one another and from those of
every other persons. Even identical twins have unique
fingerprints. That makes them ideal for personal
identification[4].
Researchers refer to biometric as a solution for
detecting user’s identity and security challenges emanating
in this modern day. Biometric identification is any
automatically measurable, robust and distinctive physical
characteristic or personal trait that can be used to identify
an individual or verify the claimed identity of an individual
[2]. The operational architecture of a typical Biometric
System is presented in Figure 1 as follows:
Biometric science utilizes the measurements of a
person’s behavioural characteristics (keyboard strokes,
mouse movement) or biological characteristics (fingerprint,
iris, nose, eyes, jaw, voice pattern, etc.). A fingerprint is
made of a series of ridges and furrows on the surface of the
finger. The uniqueness of a fingerprint is determined by the
pattern of ridges and furrows as well as the minutiae points.
Minutiae points are local ridge characteristics that occur
when a ridge splits apart or a ridge ends. Figure 2 presents
the various part of a fingerprint [9] as detailed on
www.biometrics.gov:
Figure 2: Parts of a Fingerprint
There are several factors that can affect the quality
of fingerprints images, these include; manual work, weather
condition, contact of finger with sensor, greasy or dirty
finger, cuts, wounds or bruises. All these have major or
minor impact on the quality of fingerprint images. As such,
the fingerprint algorithms procedure delivers the best match
between the template fingerprint and query fingerprint for
genuine verification and authentication of enrolled
individuals. Fingerprint matching module computes a
match score between two fingerprints, which should be
high for fingerprints from the same finger and low for those
from different fingers [9].Fingerprint scanner is an external
device generally used for the identification of a person
based on unique patterns and ridges of fingerprint as
depicted in Figure 3 below:
Figure 3: Fingerprint Scanner
Figure 1: Architecture of Biometric System

Fingerprint matched a reference number or pin
number with a person’s name or account [6].It is the
features captured that is being transformed digitally into a
template. On matching, the computer software compares
the new template with the other templates in the database.
When a matching template is found, the staff is identified.
This identification and matching process takes under one
second to complete. The recognition software can then be
used to discover an individual as the person they claim to
be [2] as shown in Figure 4 below:
Figure 4: Fingerprint converted digitally into a template
Biometric technology uses automated methods for
identifying and verifying a person based on physiological
and behavioral traits. Because some parts of the human
body are used in biometrics, the issue of getting lost is not
possible and for password to be easily guessed can be easily
avoided. Also, utilizing biometrics in most cases can be
said to be more efficient when speed is considered and
convenient than employing password and ID cards method.
It is one of the most matured biometric traits and is
accepted in courts of law as a legitimate proof of evidence
and adopted in forensic analysis globally in the
investigations of criminal. More recently, there are growing
numbers of individuals and commercial users that are
currently using or strongly putting into consideration the
use of fingerprint-based identification for no any other
reason other than the matching performance biometric
technology has demonstrated as well as a better
understanding of fingerprints [2].
Therefore, this paper is aimed at developing a staff
attendance system to track staff academic activities and the
relevance of the content delivered in their lectures over a
semester or session that will be used to carry out the
performance rating of the staff in the institution.
II. RELATED WORKS
Several authors have proposed different techniques
and methods in carrying out staff attendance without proper
attention to their performance rating. An overview of the
fundamentals of biometric identification together with a
description of the main biometric technologies currently in
use within a common reference framework is presented in
[5]. The research provided an insight into Biometric
Identification Systems (BISs) and their potential
applications. The general BIS model was proposed for
better understanding of biometric identification
technologies, and for comparing apparently disparate
systems. The work in [5] provided proposal about the use of
multi-biometrics such that fusing biometric identification
systems (BISs) provides better results than the stand-alone
use of each, but it offers no technical detail and
implementation of BIS in the domain of application.
However, selecting effective multi-biometric techniques
that will give the required performance may prove difficult.
The authors in [6] proposed an attendance management
system for industrial workers using fingerprint scanners so
that workers do not get any opportunity to give fake
attendance. The objective was to improve the performance
of attendance management system based on fingerprint
identification for large industrial databases. Three
algorithms namely; gender estimation, key-based one-to-
many matching and removing boundary minutiae were used
in the realization of the system. The system provided
accurate attendance information of workers and an interface
for workers to communicate with top management
authorities but failed to use record of staff attendance to
analyze their performance. In [4], wireless fingerprint based
college attendance system using Zigbee technology was
presented. The objective was to propose a system that takes
attendance of student while maintaining their records
automatically. The system takes attendance with the help of
a fingerprint sensor module and all the records are saved on
a computer. Fingerprint sensor module and LCD screen are
dynamic which can move in the room. Microsoft SQL

server database was used to store the records and the user
interface was developed with Microsoft C# programming
language using Microsoft Visual Studio framework. The
work proposed in [4] offered a robust system for attendance
authorization. They are however limited because it was
only tested for student lecture attendance. Using other staff
attendance factors may limit the performance of the system.
Fingerprint Biometric Attendance System for non-academic
staff in a tertiary institution was developed in [1]. The
system evolved from proposing an efficient system to solve
the problem of manual attendance where staff records fake
timings in the manual register and yet receiving full
payment for the month. The proposed model adopts a
process of requirements engineering (RE), to complement
Object Oriented Design (OOD) modelling using the Unified
Modelling Language (UML) and was implemented using
Microsoft Visual Basic.Net. Though the system was able to
track and report fake timings recorded by staff, enormous
time is often wasted in analyzing the performance of staff in
consideration for monthly salary payment. The work in [4]
was further extended by the authors in [3] through the
inclusion of an SMS module for Wi-Fi supports. They were
motivated by the need to simplify student attendance
calculation and maintenance using hardware components
like fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi module, Arduino Nano
micro-controller and Website for maintaining attendance
record. The system showed some measures of reliability for
checking student attendance via stored data of fingerprint
record in database and for sending an SMS to registered
mobile if the person was found absent. However, when
tested for staff performance analysis the system may prove
unreliable. The authors in [7] proposed a novel fingerprint
reconstruction algorithm to reconstruct phase image, which
is then converted into the grayscale image. The proposed
reconstruction algorithm was used to automate the whole
process of taking attendance, manually which is a laborious,
troublesome work and time consuming. Results obtained
showed that reconstructed images enhance great image
error recovery but during matching, there may be rampant
failure on mismatch between reconstructed fingerprint
matches with the original fingerprint. The authors in [8]
proposed a system for student attendance monitoring in a
tertiary institution using NFC technology. Their system
involved the use of NFC capable student ID cards to mark
attendance. Their idea was to ensure that users do not
require an NFC enabled phone. The system was
implemented using a backend application to generate the
identification policies, collect and store data that can be
assessed through a web interface. This system just requires
a tap to identify a user making it very fast secure to use.
This system however as with other NFC based attendance
systems does not provide a way to verify the identity of
individual students. There are possibilities of students
taking attendance on behalf of their friends. Toward
creating an efficient biometric employee attendance system,
the authors in [9], proposed a system as tested prototype
design that will improve upon the existing attendance
system in order to foster quality employee productivity.
Statistical methods based on oral interview and
questionnaire were adopted to collect data about the
existing system tending to the design of the proposed
system. Although the system recorded success in capturing
the employees’ attendance but areas with employees’ works
dedication and promotional criteria were not addressed. The
authors in [10] developed staff attendance management
system using fingerprint biometric identification technique.
The purpose was to present a framework in which
attendance management will be automated. The framework
performs enrollment and authentication of staff as fast as
possible. The implementation was carried out using
Microsoft’s Visual Studio’s C# Programming Language
which is on the .NET platform, with MySQL in the WAMP
(Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) Server as the back
end. The system was able to curb the problems of tardiness
and lateness of lecturers to lecture rooms but no indication
as to the rating of staff lecture performance. Wireless
attendance management system that authenticates using the
iris of the individual was presented in [11]. It was an
implementation of off-line iris recognition management
system for image capturing, extracting precise details,
storing and matching the captured image with one stored in
the database. The system was able to address wrong
clocking where student inappropriately clocks in for
another. The work in presented [11] was found useful in the
application domain but users tend to have phobia in the use
of Iris scanner because its radioactive properties can cause
damage to the eyes. Also in [12], a fingerprint-based
attendance management system was presented. The system
was designed to also operate as a standalone and handheld
system without the use of a computer, unlike other
fingerprint attendance systems. The software component
used include Visual Basic.Net and MS-Excel to develop the
frontend and backend engines while the hardware (device)
comprises of the microcontroller, the fingerprint scanner,
LCD display, real-time clock and serial communication that
is housed separately in a portable box, and used for
verification and assigning of time to the registered user and
sending the attendance data to the Visual Basic program on
the computer. The system also proves reliable but may not
stop cases of intentional presentation of another identity.
The use of fingerprint technology to achieve effective
employee attendance management was presented in [13]. It
was carried out in an organization with the sole aim of
capturing employees’ attendance. The system recorded
good results for employees’ absenteeism leading to several
penalties, but failed to address employees’ performance.
The authors in [14][15] proposed systems for the
authentication, monitoring and control of students’

attendance. The systems evolved from the integration of
fingerprint identification with user-friendly graphical user
interface (GUI) to give transparent attendance system, keep
real time data and displays online data for parents and other
academic use. Though required attendance reports were
generated in less time, cases of server downtime often
affect authentication error and generation of inaccurate
attendance result. Moreover, a high number percentage of
parents lacks computing and networking skills to operate
the system, thereby required comprehensive training. Also,
in [16], a biometric-based Staff Attendance Monitoring
System is presented. The aim was to make sure that the
staff members are punctual and do their jobs on time. The
system was developed using Visual Basic Programming
Language as front end while Microsoft Access was used as
the Database to the backend users. The system effectively
recorded staff attendance as proposed but failed to generate
technical performance report for staff utilizing the system.
A fingerprint-based authentication system for efficient
students’ time and attendance management was presented
in [17][18]. [17]uses fingerprint technology to authenticate
every student based on four main modules namely;
fingerprint capture, fingerprint processing, fingerprint
matching and database and four deployment structure
which consists Fingerprint Terminals, Database Server,
Access Workstation and Network Service. But the authors
in [18] relied on a simulation test using biometric sensor
hardware to check the fingerprint and compare with the
preloaded fingerprint in the database. The simulation test is
carried out using MATLAB. The systems proved to be a
veritable tool in achieving the much needed automation for
attendance management. But breakdown in network service
may result to error in authentication, inaccurate attendance
report and unverified detection technique.
III. METHODOLOGY
The lecturer fingerprint is captured via a
fingerprint scanner and the minutiae is extracted and
processed. The feature sets are stored in the database as
template. On taking another lecture, the lecturer’s
fingerprint is captured again for verification and also the
lecture count is recorded respectively. When there exist a
period for promotion or honors for a staff, the performance
rating of the staff will be carried out via an online question-
answering survey containing various performance indices
and filled by the students. The result will be analyzed and
evaluated to validate the staff performance. The architecture
of the system is shown in Figure 5 as follows:
The modules in the architecture are presented as
follows: Fingerprint Capture: This module interfaces with
the fingerprint scanner to capture the fingerprint of the
individual to be enrolled or authenticated. This is also
termed as the Enrolment Phase. Fingerprint Processing:
This module accepts the fingerprint image taken by the
sensor and extracts the unique features of the fingerprint
(minutiae points) to be used for matching with features
saved for the templates in the database. Fingerprint
Matching: This module compares the features extracted
from the taken (new) fingerprint sample with features of
fingerprint templates stored in the database. This is done by
performing comparison on a one-to-one basis. Database:
The database stores staff fingerprint templates as well as
fingerprint history. It also provides data storage for daily
lecture attendance records. Lecture Attendance: This
module shows the attendance result for each staff while
Performance Rating module shows the result of student
justification of the performance of staff toward lecture
delivery.
3.1 Mathematical Model
Given that a total of 𝑁 staff biometric data are
stored in the database and a set of minutiae, 𝑋 is extracted
from a fingerprint at the feature extraction module and
Figure 5: Architecture of the Proposed System (Adapted from Ikuomola, 2015)

passed onto the matching module, the Likelihood Ratio (LLR) is computed as follows:
(1.1)
where: 𝑋 = {𝑆1, 𝑄1}, 𝑆1 = matching score
from fingerprint biometric matching module, 𝑄1= quality of
fingerprint biometric sample, 𝐼 𝜖 0, 1 while:
𝑃(𝑋|𝐼 = 0) = the genuine distribution of set 𝑋
𝑃(𝑋|𝐼 = 1) = the imposter distribution of set 𝑋
In comparing fingerprint biometric data with

3.2 Modular Flow of the Proposed System
The system consists of fingerprint acquisition, a
fingerprint authentication module and Online Survey. The
fingerprint acquisition module is used for capturing the
fingerprint from a user through a fingerprint reader. The
fingerprint authentication module performs the comparison
of a fingerprint template stored in the database with a new
fingerprint image acquired from the reader. The online
survey gives rooms for students to tell more about staffs in
the department. The modular flow of the system is
presented in Figure 6 while the overall flowchart of the
proposed system is presented in Figure 7 respectively.

IV. IMPLEMENTATION
The proposed system being a two-way system
(Enrollment/Registration and Verification) adopted two
approaches to development. The enrollment and
verification phase of the system is a desktop-oriented
application making use of the Visual C# framework of the
Microsoft .Net. Whereas, the online survey system boasts
an implementation for staff performance rating using
HTML,CSS, PHP (hypertext preprocessor) and JavaScript
framework “React JS” as the initiator for the frontend
engines. During registration/enrollment, the staff’s brief
personal and biometric data are collected from the system
and stored in a database. The research work would
incorporate the simple, readily available MySQLi database
as the backend engine. The software platforms on which the
developed system would operate include Wamp Server
(MySQLi) version 2.4 or later, Visual Studio IDE, Source
AFIS Plugin, GrFinger (Griaule Fingerprint SDK),
DigitaPersona Software Development Kit, Operating
System (Windows) and Browsers (Chrome or Firefox)
while the hardware requirements needed include a
computer system with a minimum memory of 256MB in
size, DigitaPersona fingerprint scanner, Hard Disk Size
40Gb (Minimum) and other hardware resources. The
system testing spurn different stages, and all the stages are
presented as follows:
4.1 Start Up Screen
This is the first page giving the staffs the
opportunity to choose between Enrollment and Verification.
The staffs can navigate to their intended part of the system
without breaking a sweat. This is shown in Figure 8 below:

Figure 8: Start-up screen
4.2 Staff Registration Portal
Finger 9 indicates an interface where user
fingerprint as well as the other bio-data are stored for the
first time into the database for staff registration. All data
and information required for the proper recording of
attendance is enrolled. Personal details and the photo of the
staff is first inputted into the system which then prompts the
fingerprint acquisition screen to bump out, hence, the
fingerprint details of the staff are captured and also stored
as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 9: Staff Registration Portal
Figure 10: Fingerprint Capture Registration Page

4.3 Attendance Verification Page
After the details of the staff has been obtained
from the registration page, the staff registered can then take
attendance by placing his/her finger on the fingerprint
scanner. The fingerprint image gotten from the scanner is
then compared with each fingerprint template on the
database. If a match is found, the staff information is
retrieved and then displayed on the platform. Before
submitting the attendance, the staff can make comment on
activity performed that day as a content to his/her
attendance. However, if a fingerprint match cannot be
found in the database, a prompt of match not found is
triggered which can be that there is not fingerprint that
correlate with the inputted one. This is presented in Figures
11 and 12 below:
Figure 11: Registered User Verification Page
Figure 12: Non-Registered User Verification Page

4.4 Question Answering Start Up Screen
At the end of the month, the students are presented
with an online survey system which allows the student to
provide adequate information about the staff and general
performance and. The Start Up screen is first presented,
which shows a login screen for the students to insert their
details and then process to feeling the survey question as
shown in Figure 13. Figure 14 indicates the login validation
form.
Figure 13: Online Question-Answering
Figure 14: The login Validation
4.5 Question Answering Subsystem (Dashboard)
After a successfully login, the student is presented
with a list of staffs from which they could click on. On
click on each of the staff brings out a modal of survey
question for the students to provide answer to. This is
presented in Figure 15.

4.6 Question Answering Subsystem (Question Modal)
In this menu, a list of questions is presented to the
students. The questions provided allows the students to tell
more about the activities of each individual staffs that had
already taken his or are attendance with the system. On
successful answering of the provided questions, the student
can then submit his/her survey for storage as presented in
Figure 16 below:
V. RESULT AND EVALUATION
Over two hundred (200) academic staff across nine
(9) departments in the faculty of a tertiary institution tested
the proposed model between the month of October and
November 2017. Evaluation of the model was carried out
based on matching efficiency, attendance accuracy and the
speed of capturing attendance and also performing
authentication at the beginning and end of various class
sessions. The matching efficiency parameters are presented
as follows:
False Acceptance: Occurs when the wrong fingerprint is
accepted as valid for an individual during verification.
Figure 15: Questionnaire Answering- dashboard showing staff list
Figure 16: Question modal

False Rejection: Occurs when the system fails to match the
valid fingerprint of an individual.
True Acceptance: Occurs when a fingerprint matches with
the fingerprint of same individual.
True Rejection: Occur when the system rejects a wrong
fingerprint in the process of verifying an individual.
False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Reject Rate (FRR)
are the error rates parameters used to express matching
efficiency. FAR is computed as follows:
where𝐹𝑎 = Number of False Acceptance, 𝐹𝑟 =
Number of False Rejections and N = Number of verified
objects (staff).

VI. CONCLUSION
Discipline is one of the principles of management
proposed by (Fayol, 1949) to carry out effective
administration and management of an organization. It is a
part of the core values of an organization that makes
employees obey and respect the rules that governs the
organization. Therefore, every academic institutions need to
consider staff attendance irrespective of their
responsibilities. This will ensure that academic staff deliver
their lectures promptly with focus on quality content
delivery. On the part of the University management, it will
result to effective leadership. This research has provided
adequate technology required to ensure that staff
performance is promoted at a high rate. The system features
a two-phase subsystem, an attendance system for staff
enrollment and verification and a question-answering
module to acquire students review on staff performance.
Hence, the new system is effective, user friendly, reliable
and provide high security which offers more to attendance
management.
