Abstract—Whenever it comes to attendance, the two best biometrics are face and fingerprint. They are the most unique in a human being. The security and accuracy are also maintained as for marking the attendance the person himself/herself has to be present. But as far as time factor is concerned the facial recognition takes an edge over fingerprint. One of the most important as well as demanding is attendance marking in any school, college or any organization where group of people work. However, the traditional techniques of calling out the name and manually marking the attendance are time consuming and tedious. This particular project has been designed and implemented aiming eliminating all above concerns. The help of open-CV technology has been taken. A face recognition module has been created and also locating the face landmarks and encoding the image data provided is also part of initial part of designing. Webcam has been used to capture images.
