IRJET- Face Recognition based Mobile Automatic Classroom Attendance Management System
1 like46 views
This document proposes a face recognition-based mobile automatic classroom attendance management system that does not require any extra equipment. It uses a filtering system based on Euclidean distances calculated using three face recognition techniques (Eigenfaces, Fisherfaces, and Local Binary Pattern) for face recognition. The proposed system includes mobile applications for teachers, students, and parents to manage attendance in real-time. It was tested among students and produced satisfactory results. The system aims to make attendance taking more efficient and less prone to errors compared to traditional paper-based methods.

Abstract - Classroom attendance check is a contributing
factor to student participation and the final success in the
courses. Taking attendance by calling out names or passing
around an attendance sheet are both time-consuming, and
especially the latter is open to easy fraud. As an alternative,
RFID, wireless, fingerprint, andirisandfacerecognition-based
methods have been tested and developed for this purpose.
Although these methods have some pros, high system
installation costs are the main disadvantage.
The present paper aims to propose a face recognition-based
mobile automatic classroom attendance management system
needing no extra equipment. To this end, a filtering system
based on Euclidean distances calculated by three face
recognition techniques, namely Eigenfaces, Fisherfaces and
Local Binary Pattern, has been developed for face recognition.
The proposed system includes three different mobile
applications for teachers, students, and parents tobeinstalled
on their smart phones to manage and perform the real-time
attendance-taking process. The proposed system was tested
among students at Ankara University, andtheresultsobtained
were very satisfactory.
Key Words: Face detection, face recognition, eigenfaces,

and face recognition-based methods have been tested and

and perform the real-time attendance-taking process.
2. SCOPE AND MOTIVATION
Most educational institutions are concerned with students’
participation in courses since student participation in the
classroom leads to effective learning and increases success
rates [1]. Also, a high participation rate in the classroom is a
motivating factor for teachers and contributes to a suitable
environment for more willing and informative teaching.The
most common practice known to increase attendance in a
course is taking attendance regularly.
There are two common ways to create attendance data.
Some teachers prefer to call names and put marks for
absence or presence. Other teachers prefer to pass around a
paper signing sheet. After gathering the attendance data via
either of these two methods, teachers manually enter the
data into the existing system. However, those non-
technological methods are not efficient ways since they are
time consuming and prone to mistakes/fraud. The present
paper aims to propose an attendance-taking process via the
existing technological infrastructure with some
improvements.
A face recognition-based mobile automatic classroom
attendance management system has been proposed with a
face recognition infrastructure allowing the use of smart
mobile devices. In this scope, a filtering system based on
Euclidean distances calculated by three face recognition
techniques, namely Eigenfaces,Fisherfaces,andLocal Binary
Pattern (LBP), has been developed for face recognition. The
proposed system includes three different applications for
teachers, students, and parents to be installedontheirsmart
phones to manage and perform a real-time polling process,
data tracking, and reporting. The data is stored in a cloud
server and accessiblefrom everywhere at any time. Web
services are a popular way of communication for online
systems, and RESTful is an optimal example of web services
for mobile online systems.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW

attendance on academic performance. We exploit a large
panel data set for Introductory Microeconomics students to
explicitly take into account the effectofunobservablefactors
correlated with attendance, such as ability, effort and
motivation. We find that neither proxy variables nor](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/irjet-v6i4656-190708051003/85/IRJET-Face-Recognition-based-Mobile-Automatic-Classroom-Attendance-Management-System-1-320.jpg)

Panel estimators indicate that attendance has a positive and significant impact on performance. Lecture and classes have a similar effect on performance individually, although their impact cannot be identified separately. Overall, the results indicate that, after controlling for unobservable student characteristics, teaching has an important independent effect on learning. This paper describes a face detection framework that is capable of processing images extremely rapidly while achieving high detection rates. There are three key contributions. The first is the introduction of a new image representation called the Integral Image which allows the features used by our detector to be computed very quickly. The second is a simple and efficient classifier which is built using the AdaBoost learning algorithm (Freund and Schapire, 1995) to select a small number of critical visual features from a very large set of potential features. Thethird contribution is a method for combining classifiers in a cascade which allows background regions of the imagetobe quickly discarded while spending more computation on promising face-like regions. A set of experiments in the domain of face detection is presented.Thesystemyieldsface detection performance comparable to the best previous systems (Sung and Poggio, 1998; Rowley et al., 1998; Schneiderman and Kanade, 2000; Roth et al., 2000). Implemented on a conventional desktop, Face detection proceeds at 15 frames per second. B. Proposed System: Architecture of the Proposed System The proposed system's architecture based on mobility and flexibility is shown in Fig.1. Figure 1. System Architecture Figure 2. Interface on mobile device. 3. CONCLUSIONS Current way of taking attendance is time consuming and easy to fraud with. Sheets don’t always make it to each and every student. Recording keeping sometimes is unmanageable. This system will tackle these issues and make attendance hassle free and convenient. Also it will make easier to edit, update and sharable. This paper would serve as an encouragement to others to further explore the sector of attendance management system.
