Abstract:
In numerous institutions and organizations, understudy and staff participation is taken
genuinely as most administration scowl at absenteeism and authorize the people included.
Customarily, the strategy of participation utilized to be done bodily employing a physical
enlist booklet. This strategy is inclined to control and pantomime. The participation enroll
may get harmed, stolen, or misplaced. In this manner, a few electronic methods were
created to counter a few eminent blemishes ordinary with the conventional strategy. These
incorporate clocking machines, RFID, biometrics, etc. Whereas the clocking machine and
RFID strategies may not illuminate the issue of pantomime legitimately, a few individuals
fear the wellbeing impacts of the utilization of biometrics like iris and facial scanner.
Unique mark filtering has been by far the more worthy biometric framework with the
capacity to dispose of all the inconvenience spots detailed so distant although computer
bolster is continuously required.

Chapter 1: Introduction:
Introduction:
1.1: Background:
Fingerprint verification is one of the most seasoned biometric strategies known but still the
foremost broadly used because of its straightforwardness and great records of precision. It
is a well-known reality that each human being is born with a diverse design on their fingers
and these highlights are utilized to recognize and separate between two different people.
The advantage of this application in an instructive established or organization cannot be
overemphasized. The Fingerprint impression acknowledgment and verification technique
has been embraced to supplant the ordinary strategy because it spares time and eliminates
all the setbacks recognized with the participation enroll booklet. A Fingerprint identifying
gadget ought to be set in each classroom or exam hall, and understudies would be required
to swipe their finger across the sensor to demonstrate their nearness within the lesson or
exam. The understudy records are put away within the database for confirmation.
(L.S. Eczema, et.al, 7, July-2015)
Biometrics advances confirm character through properties such as fingerprints, Faces, iris,
retina patterns, palm prints, voice, handwritten cues, etc.
These strategies, which use physical information, are a more useful individual confirmation
method than usual strategies such as passwords or ID cards because they use information
from measurements and this information is and will remain specific to the individual.
during his life. In these developments, the unique tag has become one of the most mature
and well-known biometrics innovations used to demonstrate automatic identification of
individuals. The reason for the popularity of the unique tag guarantee is that fingerprints
satisfy uniqueness, stability, continuity, and effective absorption.
(Akinduyite C.O, et.al, November 04, 2013)
A few biometric highlights are utilized for client confirmation. These are DNA
Coordinating (Chemical Biometric), Ear (Visual Biometric), Eyes (Iris Acknowledgment
and Retina Acknowledgment), Confront Acknowledgment (Visual Biometric), Unique
finger impression Acknowledgment (Visual Biometric), Stride (Behavioral Biometric),
Signature Acknowledgment (Visual/Behavioral Biometric), Discourse and Speaker
Recognition (Auditory Biometric), etc. Planning and creating an understudy participation
framework based on unique finger impression acknowledgment oversees records for
participation within the offices like CSE office of Jatiya, Kabi, Kazi Nazrul Islam College
will be hassles-free, precise, and spare important time of understudies as well as instructors
for conducting the classes. (Rahman S, et.al, 2018)

1.2: Problem Statement:
1-Fraud in Student attendance occurs sporadically in the traditional manner.
The student explained that it was common practice for a group of his friends and fellow
students to sign attendance records on each other's behalf for different lessons and lectures.
Several teachers have noticed that students are logged in even though they have not
attended the course. This student's handwriting was identified as one of those who were
checking in for their friends, giving the impression that they had attended.
(Dr Kathryn Leask ,2021)
2-Environmental Challenges:
Under extraordinary cold or extraordinarily warm, the mistake rate is additionally
exceptionally high. Hence this posture is a challenge for utilizing the biometric attendance
framework. (Anuj Sharma, 2020)

increasingly prevalent. Fingerprint access control & time participation framework,
fingerprint social security, unique mark keeping money, fingerprint shopping centers,
unique finger impression pick-up and so on, and other modern wonders of life and work
have been broadly known. Unique mark innovation is progressively reviving our Advanced
lifestyle. As a result, the world’s best unique finger impression acknowledgment innovation
has been exceedingly esteemed around the world, and the application of unique finger
impression acknowledgment innovation has quickly been created. At display, numerous
endeavors have been included within the advancement and application of unique mark
recognizable proof innovation, but most of them are presenting outside unique finger
impression distinguishing proof modules for framework integration and advancement. The
toll taken is generally tall and the advertised advancement is troublesome.
Same problem point:
1, Can I recognize the unique finger impression on tape or copied? No. The unique finger
impression time participation machine can as it were recognizing the living fingerprint.
2, if the finger is harmed, the unique finger impression cannot be recognized, what to do?
The time participation unique mark machine can make two distinctive unique finger
impression records beneath the same participation staff title. When one unique mark is
harmed and cannot go to the participation, another unique finger impression can be
utilized to total the participation. Or alter your finger to re-file for attendance.
3. After the control cut, will the information be lost? No. The time participation machine is
prepared with memory, and the participation information will be naturally put away and
sponsored up in genuine time. (ShineACS ,2017)

Chapter 2: literature review:

Introduction:

Fingerprint sensor module with TTL UART (Universal Nonconcurrent Receiver/Transmitter)

interface for coordinate associations to microcontroller UART or to PC through MAX232 /
USB-Serial adapter is utilized. The client can store the fingerprint data within the module and
can design it in 1:1 or 1: N mode for recognizing the individual. The FP module can specifically
interface with a 3v3 or 5v Microcontroller. A level converter (like MAX232) is required to
meddle with the PC serial port. Optical biometric unique mark peruses with great features and
can be implanted into an assortment of end products, such as: get to control, participation,
safety deposit box, car entryway locks etc.

This chapter will include different parts of Fingerprint based attendance management system
to keep you understand the project & give you more knowledge about this topic.

Fingerprint ACQUISITION PROCESS:

A fingerprint can be characterized as an impression made by a human finger since of the
designs made on the skin of our palms and fingers ever since birth. The marks or design on
our finger will never experience any alter or maybe it gets to be conspicuous with age.
Figure 1 underneath appears a unique mark im-age. For their changelessness and
interesting nature, they have been utilized since long in criminal and legal cases. Appeared
underneath, could be a unique finger impression design gotten from an optical sensor. The
figure appears black out and dim lines developing from a specific point and spiraling
around it all over the finger. (Longinus S. Eczema, et.al, 2019)

Biometric recognition framework:

A commonplace biometric acknowledgment framework has two stages of musical drama-
activity, specifically, the enrollment organizes, and the acknowledgment organize (see Fig.

extricated include set in a database (frequently alluded to as a format), beside an identifier
partner the highlight set with a person. Amid the acknowledgement organize, the
framework once more obtains the biometric characteristic of a person, extricates a fea-
true set from it, and compares this include set against the tem- plates within the database to
decide a coordinate or to confirm a claimed character.
(Anil K. Jain, et.al,2016)

Figure 2: Run a typical biometrics system. The two primary problems with biometric
recognition include finding a consistent representation of a feature and designing a robust
matching tool for a given representation system.
-Biometric Participation System Circuit Principle:
The primary point of this circuit is to require attendance and show when asked.
Fingerprint recognizable proof is since no two people will have the same unique finger
impression in this world. This is because of the unconventional hereditary code of DNA in
everyone. Fingerprint module differentiates between two fingers based on the edges and
valleys on fingerprint. When the fingerprint is given it stores the focuses where there are
changes in the course of edges and valleys utilizing some algorithms. Inside the fingerprint
module a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is displayed to actualize and analyze the
calculation. Primary heart of the circuit is the fingerprint module. This sends commands to
the controller at whatever point the unique finger impression is matched. Microcontroller
gets these commands from the fingerprint module and employs the inner EEPROM
(Electrically Erasable Programmable Examined Only Memory) to store the participation.

Attendance management system:
Attendance management may be a major portion of today’s human asset frameworks; take
organization towards superior human asset hone, frameworks and brilliance, thus normal
participation and reliability are anticipated of all representatives or candidates in a work
setting. Unsuitable participation caused by unscheduled unlucky deficiencies and lateness
cause a disturbance in work, influences efficiency, and makes resolve issues when
workloads are moved to other representatives.
In addition, in numerous educational, and scholastic organizations, participation is
additionally an awfully vital criteria which is utilized for different purposes. These
purposes incorporate record keeping, appraisal of understudies, and advancement of ideal
and steady participation in lessons. In creating nations, a least rate of course participation
is required in most teaching and this arrangement has not been followed, since of the
different challenges the display strategy of taking participation presents. This conventional
strategy includes the utilization of sheets of paper or books in taking understudy
participation. This strategy could easily permit pantomime and the participation sheet can
be stolen or misplaced. Taking part is time expending and it is troublesome to ascertain the
number of understudies that have made the least rate and hence qualified for the exam.
Hence, there's a requirement for a framework that would kill all of these inconvenience
spots.
Types of Attendance Management System:
Attendance Administration falls into two categories to be specific: Routine and Mechanized
strategies. Ordinary strategies incorporate time sheets, participation enroll and time
clocks. Time sheets are records, electronic or something else that record what time was
passed through by the worker on what errands. Participation enlist is an official list of
individuals who are shown at an institution or organization. Time clock which may be a
mechanical (or electronic) time piece utilized to help in following the hour worked by a
representative of a company.
The standardized tag attendance system requires that each representative is issued a
badge/card in which there's a standardized tag. In order to check into or out of the
company, the badge/card is swapped on the time clock, and the information is captured by
the clock. Within the magnetic stripe participation framework, information is encoded
within the attractive stripe of the worker card. When the card is swiped through the
representative time clock, the data within the card’s attractive stripe is recorded by the
time clock. This framework peruses one card at a time additionally requires contact with
the peruse. Radio-frequency recognizable proof (RFID) could be an innovation that
employs radio waves to exchange information from an electronic tag, called RFID tag or
name, connected to a protest, through a peruse for the reason of distinguishing and

following the question. The ID cards of the workers are inserted with an RFID tag which is
studied by a peruse. This RFID framework interfaces to a database through a computer.
In the biometric Attendance framework, there's an attendance computer program that's
matched with a time clock for workers which employs biometric innovation for verification
purposes. When these frameworks are in use, the representatives can utilize their biometric
information such as fingerprints for clocking in and clocking out. This method has the
incredible advantage that the complete handle is simple as well as speedy. Other focal
points incorporate the end of the toll already brought about in getting the workers cards.

Chapter 3: Research Methods:
In this objective of this research will analysis step of system development lifecycle was
implemented.

In the software development process, the technologies that can be the most effective
solutions to the needs of the user are selected. System users are identified and authorized.
Because different roles carry out different operations in the system. At the same time,
criteria such as software performance and productivity were considered.

Covering all operations, the waterfall model has been selected which has been used in many
software projects in figure 3 that consists of analysis, design, coding, testing, release, and
maintenance phases. According to this model, each stage must be meticulously completed.
Since the condition for moving to the next step is fulfilled in the previous stage, a linear
software development process is provided. In addition, the waterfall model is widely used
when identifying specific needs at the beginning of a project. Therefore, when the project
structure and literature are considered, the waterfall model fits the system better.

Conclusion:
In this paper, we introduced a fingerprint attendance management system. The developed
system is an embedded system that is part of the fingerprint recognition/authentication
system based on detail points. The system extracts the fingerprint's local attribute which is
the detail points in the template. Templates are matched during the registration and
verification process.
To improve quality control during the registration or verification process, a matching score
was used to determine the success of the process. The match score is defined so that only
data sets of detail that exceed the score will be accepted, and data less than the score will be
rejected. Therefore, fingerprint identification using the Minutiae Score Matching method
was used to match detail points before attendance was recorded. The developed system is
very helpful in saving valuable time for students, lecturers, paper and preparing reports in
the required time.
The system can time and stop students and staff in a very convenient way using their
fingerprints to prevent impersonation and reduce the level of absenteeism. It also reduces
most administrative functions and reduces human error, avoids proxy punching, eliminates
time controversies, and helps to update and maintain attendance record.
