accurate and fast means of recording the performance of the people inside this organization. Biometric recognition has the potential to become an irreplaceable part of many identification systems used for evaluating the performance of those people working within the organization. Although biometric technologies are being applied in many fields it has not yet delivered its promise of guaranteeing automatic human recognition. This research is the first of its kind to attempt to provide an automated attendance system that recognizes students using face recognition technology through an image/video stream to record their attendance in lectures or sections and evaluating their performance accordingly.
We have studied the literature available in the fields of pattern recognition and biometric systems with a focus on facial recognition. In addition, a study of previous attendance systems and it atomization attempts was conducted to examine the similar previous systems. The literature is divided into three main parts; the first part examines the different biometric characteristics and systems. After that, an in depth study on facial recognition is conducted for it is the technology to be used by our proposed project. The final portion of this literature review presents the different time and attendance systems offered by different researchers and vendors.
II. MOTIVATION
Student’s attendance records are important documents that reflect their performance.Traditional attendance register system is time consuming. It involved one by one marking the attendance of the students by calling their name and check whether the student is present or not. Other method was to supply the attendance sheet to student to mark their attendance which have high chances of proxies.
