Smart Face Attendance System
An automated attendance system using face recognition.
This Python program automates attendance tracking using facial recognition. It uses machine learning models to identify individuals and automatically marks their presence in an Excel sheet.
The Smart Face Attendance System is a Python-based application that modernizes and automates the process of tracking attendance. By leveraging the power of computer vision and machine learning, this program eliminates the need for manual roll calls or sign-in sheets, saving time and reducing human error. It provides a seamless and efficient solution for schools, universities, and businesses. The system works by first enrolling users, capturing images of their faces to create a database of known individuals. During an attendance session, the program uses a camera to scan the room, detect faces in real-time, and compare them against the enrolled database. It employs sophisticated facial recognition models to accurately identify each person, even in challenging conditions with varying angles and lighting. Once a person is identified, their attendance is automatically marked in an Excel sheet, complete with a timestamp. This creates a reliable and easily manageable record of attendance. The project demonstrates a practical application of machine learning, showcasing skills in using libraries like OpenCV and face_recognition to build a complete, end-to-end solution that solves a common administrative problem.
