Attendance Monitoring System - Proposal

This document proposes an attendance monitoring system using image recognition. Multiple cameras would take photos of students during lectures to capture faces. These images would be stored on a server and processed using steps like face detection, feature extraction, and model training to recognize faces and mark attendance in an excel sheet. Face detection would use the Adaboost algorithm, while feature extraction methods mentioned include HAAR, LBP, and HoG. Models like SVM, RBF, and Naive Bayes could be trained on the extracted features for classification and attendance marking.

Attendance Monitoring System

Using Image Recognition

Introduction: Image Acquisition
Our proposed solution attempts to mark attendance of students during
lecture hours by using multiple cameras at multiple places, which would
take photos of the assigned portion of the class at multiple time intervals.
These photos are stored at a server, where the face detection and
recognition process commences.
Implementation Modules:

1. Creation of database
2. Image acquisition
3. Pre processing
4. Face detection
5. Face recognition
6. Attendance(Excel sheet manipulations)
Initial training process
Face detection
Face recognition
Pre-processing:
1. Gray-Scale Image Conversion: Converting the colored RGB
image to a gray-scale image as luminosity is an important
parameter in distinguishing visual features, and gray-scaling
would aid in this process.
2. Image enhancement and resizing: employed for removing
noise from the image, and resizing it to the adequate
dimensions.
Feature Extraction
One of the following algorithms can be used for feature extraction:

1. HAAR feature-based cascade classifier: It is a machine learning based approach where a


cascade function is trained from a lot of positive and negative images. It is then used to detect
objects in other images.
2. Local Binary Patterns(LBP): is a type of visual detector used for classification in Computer
Vision.
3. Histogram of oriented gradients(HoG):The image is divided into small connected regions called
cells, and for the pixels within each cell, a histogram of gradient directions is compiled. The
descriptor is the concatenation of these histograms, which is further used for image
classification.
Model Training:
A machine learning model would be trained on the basis of the initially extracted
features, and further, it would help us in classification during the real-time
attendance system. The machine learning algorithm which can be used are:

1. Support Vector Machine


2. Radial Basis Function
3. Naive Bayes
Post-training
Multiple cameras are appointed to cover specific portions of the class,
which would take pictures at regular intervals of time. The images on
the server, is then passed through a face detection algorithm(Adaboost
algorithm), after which feature extraction algorithm is run (for each face
in the frame). The extracted feature vectors are then used to test the
trained classifier model, which would mark the attendance for the faces
detected in an excel sheet.
