Face Recognition Attendance System

Overview

The Face Recognition Attendance System is a Python-based application designed to streamline the process of taking attendance using facial recognition technology. This system offers two main features:

1. Attendance Taking: This feature allows users to capture the faces of individuals and record their attendance automatically. The system detects faces using a webcam or uploaded images, matches them against a pre-existing database, and logs the attendance details.

2. User Listing: Users can view a list of registered individuals along with their unique identifiers, such as names and roll numbers. This feature provides an overview of the individuals stored in the system's database.

Working

1. Recording Attendance:

• Users start the attendance process by choosing the "Take Attendance" option.
• The user is asked by the system to either take photos of people with a webcam or upload images from a local folder.
• Facial recognition algorithms review the captured images and compare them to the current database for matches. After successfully identifying the individual, the system logs the attendance information, such as their name and the time they arrived.

2. List of Users:

• To see the people who have signed up, users can choose the "List Users" feature.
• The data from the database is fetched by the system and presented in an organized way, usually in the form of a table layout. Users have the ability to examine the roster of people and their pertinent details, like names and distinct identifiers.

Dataset

The dataset for the Face Recognition Attendance App is taken from kaggle. A popular dataset Labelled Faces in the wild which contains images of around 5000 individuals and around 13000 images. One can find the dataset here
