This document proposes a facial recognition-based attendance system for classrooms. It works by detecting faces in the classroom and comparing them to a database of student faces to take attendance automatically. The system consists of image processing and comparison modules to recognize faces, extract features, compare templates, and determine a match or non-match. It operates by detecting 80 nodal points on faces to create unique faceprints for identification and verification. While this system can automate attendance tracking without paper, facial recognition technology still has limitations around accuracy and environmental factors.
