Face Recognition Attendance System

Presidency University Verified Project XII-Higher Secondary
02/2020 - 05/2020, The Sapphire School, Ratlam
Tags : Face Recognition, Deep Learning, Image Processing, OpenCV, Flask, Raspberry Pi, SQLite 2016,
Built an IoT-enabled Web app using Python, Flask a n d Sqlite where students can Percentage - 67.0%
register themself and faculties can sign in and initialize the attendance process.
Encoded a picture using the HOG algorithm to create a simplified version of the image.
Found the part of the image that most looks like a generic HOG encoding of a face. X - Secondary
Passed the centered face image through a Deep Convolutional Neural Network that Ratlam Public School, Ratlam
knows how to measure features of the face and saved those 128 measurements. 2013,
Developed an SVM classifier to find the person in our database of known people who CGPA - 7.0
has the closest measurements to our test image.
Obtained an accuracy of 99.8% and able to deliver accurate face recognition
attendance system with minimal human intervention , less time consuming compared to
manual attendance system and reduced discrepancies like proxy attendance . ACHIEVEMENTS
Best Paper Award for paper titled Face
Recognition Based Attendance System (FRAS)
at Presidency University, 2019
