Abstract

In this paper we present bioFACE, a novel mobile application for the biometric authentication by face recognition of the users of the attendance management software provided by the Human Resources department of the State Technical University of Quevedo. This application converts the smartphones in a biometric device that allows register the workday entries and workday exits from any place inside of the university campus. The user-location is validated by the GPS coordinates using the Android Geofence API and the biometric authentication of the users (employees and professors) is carried out by face recognition performed by Microsoft Face API features.
