A Review Paper on Automatic Attendance System using Face Detection

Abstract

Attendance marking in a classroom is a very time consuming task. It is a very hard for
lecturers to take attendance in a class of very large number of students. This also reduces the
time of lecture. These images are compared using SURF matching algorithm with the stored
images of students. These two algorithms are implemented in MATLAB. The system can be
operated automatically or manually. The focus is to make a fully automatic system which
works on basis of time-table of class-room. We make a standalone application for this
automatic attendance system which can work on any 64-bit computer with no need of
MATLAB software.
