What is the Face Recognition Attendance System?

The Face Recognition Attendance System marks attendance by simply looking at the camera. Student or employee faces are registered once, and the system learns their facial features.

During class, the webcam detects faces, recognises each person and saves attendance with date and time in the database. No proxy attendance is possible. Reports can be exported to Excel. It is built with Python, OpenCV and a face recognition model, with a simple Flask web interface.

Best for: BE / B.Tech (CSE, IT, AI & DS), MCA, MSc and BSc Computer Science students. Good as a major / final year project for your semester submission.

How the Face Recognition Attendance System Works

1

Dataset

A public dataset is loaded, cleaned and split into train and test parts.

2

Training

The model learns patterns from the training data.

3

Testing

Accuracy, precision and recall are checked on test data.

4

Prediction

Users give new input in the web page and get the result instantly.

Remote Project Setup Guidance

  1. 1
    Share your details
    Tell us your laptop type (Windows / Mac) and a time that suits you.
  2. 2
    Install AnyDesk
    Install free AnyDesk (or join Google Meet) and share the access code.
  3. 3
    We set it up
    We install the required software, import the database and configure the machine learning project.
  4. 4
    Test together
    We run the project in front of you and check every main feature.
  5. 5
    Understand it
    We explain the code, flow and database so you are ready for your viva.

  1. Install Python 3 and tick Add Python to PATH during setup.
  2. Open the project folder in VS Code and create a virtual environment: python -m venv venv.
  3. Install the libraries: pip install -r requirements.txt.
  4. Run the notebook or training script once to train the model (a trained model is also included).
  5. Start the web app with python app.py and open localhost:5000 in your browser.
