Automatic attendance system using extreme learning machine

Abstract

Attendance is a way of knowing whether the person is present at the place or not. This is done manually i.e. by calling the names and using biometric systems. Both these methods are time-consuming and an individual face lots of waste in their time. Therefore, to prevent this loss, a novel technique is introduced, which is based on the recognition of face of an individual for the attendance. This is done by detecting the face of the individual in some event or in a classroom, in case of students and the detected face region is matched with the stored database.Here, this is done with the help of ViolaJones algorithm for the face region detection and extreme learning machine algorithm for the matching of the detected face with the stored database. The results are observed over self-made database of few students with quite promising performance.
