1. INTRODUCTION

The "Automatic Attendance System with Face Recognition using Raspberry Pi" project
revolutionizes the traditional attendance management process by introducing a contactless
and efficient solution. Manual attendance methods, such as sign-in sheets or barcode
scanning, are prone to errors, time-consuming, and lack real-time tracking capabilities. By
leveraging the capabilities of Raspberry Pi, a versatile and affordable single-board computer,
combined with state-of-the-art face recognition technology, this project aims to
streamline attendance management. The system utilizes a Raspberry Pi board, camera
moduel, and image processing techniques to capture and analyze live video feeds. The face
recognition algorithm implemented in the system compares the detected faces with pre-
registered images to accurately identify individuals. The attendance data is then logged into a
database for easy access and record-keeping purposes. This automated system offers several
advantages, including increased accuracy, reduced administrative workload, and real-time
attendance tracking. Additionally, the contactless nature of the system promotes hygiene and
minimizes the risk of transmission, making it particularly valuable in the context of current
health concerns. Overall, the "Automatic Attendance System with Face Recognition using

2. METHODOLOGY

Requirement Analysis: Identify the specific requirements and objectives of the attendance
system. Determine the target environment, the number of individuals to be tracked, and any
additional functionalities required. Hardware Setup: Set up the Raspberry Pi board by
connecting the necessary peripherals, including the camera module, display unit, and other
relevant components. Ensure proper power supply and connectivity. Image Acquisition:
Configure the camera module to capture live video feeds. Adjust camera settings for optimal
image quality, considering factors such as lighting conditions and camera placement.
Preprocessing: Implement image preprocessing techniques to enhance the quality of captured
images. This may involve tasks such as noise reduction, image resizing, and normalization.
Face Detection: Utilize face detection algorithms to identify and locate faces within the
captured images. This step involves detecting facial features and creating bounding boxes
around detected faces. Feature Extraction: Extract relevant features from the detected faces to
represent them in a numerical format. Popular techniques include Local Binary Patterns
(LBP), Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), or deep learning-based feature extraction
using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Face Recognition: Employ face recognition
algorithms to match the extracted face features against pre-registered face templates or a
database of known individuals. Popular methods include Eigenfaces, Fisher faces, or deep
learning-based approaches like Siamese networks or FaceNet. Attendance Logging: Log
attendance records by associating recognized faces with corresponding identities. Maintain a
database to store attendance information, including timestamps and individual identifiers.
