Abstract

In a conventional attendance monitoring system, the concerned teacher takes attendance manually in a classroom. In general, it is a time-consuming and very difficult task to take attendance of a huge number of students in a short period of time and involves proxy attendance. To overcome these issues, we proposed a face recognition-based student attendance monitoring system in a classroom environment. The proposed method uses the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) as features extractor, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as face encoding and Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a classifier. The proposed system recognizes the face in real-time using a webcam and generates attendance report automatically without any human intervention. Our face recognition method accomplished 99.5% accuracy on Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) database and 97.83% accuracy in real-time inside the classroom for the case of attendance monitoring. Finally, we tested our system to validate its effectiveness.
