 Introduction
Organizations of all sizes use attendance systems to record when student or
employees start and stop work, and the department where the work is
performed. An attendance system provides many benefits to organizations.
There was a time when the attendance of the students and employees was
marked on registers. However, those who have been a part of the classes
when attendance registers were used know how easy it was to abuse such a
method of attendance and mark bogus attendances for each other. Of
course, technology had to play its role in this field just as well as it has done
in other fields. The attendance monitoring system was created and it
changed the way attendances were marked. The attendance monitoring
system has made the lives of teachers and employers easier by making
attendance marking procedure a piece of cake.
 Abstract

This project deals with face detection for an attendance

recorder system for the purpose of maintaining attendance
details of the students. Students faces are pre stored in class
databases. USB camera capture the student face and
compared to database image if it is matched means that
student ID will be sent to Web server and takes attendance
with in and out time.
 Existing System

• Student’s attendances are taken manually by using

attendance sheet, which is a time consuming event.
Moreover, it is very difficult to verify each student
in a large classroom environment with distributed
branches whether the authenticated students are
actually responding or not.

 Proposed System

In this project we are using Web camera to detect faces and these faces are
stored in data base. If the face is matched an ID is sent to web server i.e.,
Php Server. Then it will take In Time of the student. If the face matched
again then ID will be sent to the server again and it takes out time.

For example if the class is for 9am to 10 am. Firstly it will take the time
as 9 am. If he leaves at 9.25 it will check time and gives Absent as he
stays less time in class. If he stays more time then it will take present. All
these time comparison's are done in Php Server.

What is the Raspberry Pi?

• Affordable credit-card sized

computer
• Plugs into a computer
monitor or TV
• Uses standard keyboard and
mouse
• Can browse the internet and
play HD video
• Can also interact with the
outside world!
GPIO pins:
 What is a webcam?
• Webcams are small digital video cameras that hook up to your computer at
the USB or Fire wire port
• Some webcams are true CCD devices
• The produce 320x240 pixel images (and other resolution mode as well)
• They are lightweight & Cheap.
• They produce color digital video files with sound (avi file format)
 Many varieties of Webcams

• Logitech Quick Cam - one of the first to be used by amateur astronomers for Lunar and
Planetary work.
• Philips Toucan has been a very popular and inexpensive webcam for astronomy and is
the camera I use.
• an excellent entry level webcam costing around $130.
• There are higher performance (and much more expensive) webcams used by advanced
amateurs for astronomical purposes (Luminera, DMK21F04, Point Grey).
• DMK: $390 for the camera, $199 for filter wheel, $285 for filter set.
• Lumenera: $995 for camera alone.
• Point Grey Research has some nice fire-wire minis ~$700 or so
• Avoid currently available CMOS devices, they lack sensitivity compared to CCD based
devices.
• Color vs gray-scale - filter wheels vs. deBayering.

 PHP Sensor
• PHP started out as a small open source project that evolved as more and more people found out how
useful it was. Rasmus Lerdorf unleashed the first version of PHP way back in 1994.
• PHP is a recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor".
• PHP is a server side scripting language that is embedded in HTML. It is used to manage dynamic
content, databases, session tracking, even build entire e-commerce sites.
• It is integrated with a number of popular databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase,
Informix, and Microsoft SQL Server.
• PHP is pleasingly zippy in its execution, especially when compiled as an Apache module on the Unix
side. The MySQL server, once started, executes even very complex queries with huge result sets in
record-setting time.
• PHP supports a large number of major protocols such as POP3, IMAP, and LDAP. PHP4 added
support for Java and distributed object architectures (COM and CORBA), making n-tier development
a possibility for the first time.
• PHP is forgiving: PHP language tries to be as forgiving as possible.
• PHP Syntax is C-Like.
ADVANTAGES :

 Less intrusive
 Major security boost
 Fast
 Simple Recognition
Applications:

• Banks
• hospitals.
CONCLUSION:

• The system can be used in several places like banks, hospitals, labs and other sophisticated
automated systems, which dramatically reduce the hazard of unauthorized entry. Evidence

can be given to the security department if any robbery issue occurs. The design of the face

recognition system using Raspberry pi can make the smaller, lighter and with lower power

consumption, so it is more convenient than the PC-based face recognition system. Because

of the open source code, it is freer to do software development on Linux. The efficiency of

the system was analyzed in terms of face detection rate. The analysis revealed that the

present system shows excellent performance efficiency and can be used for face detection

even from poor quality images.
