FEASIBILITY STUDY-FACIAL RECOGNITION ATTENDANCE

SYSTEM USING ADVANCED PCA METHOD

How we are planning to implement the project

- Hardware Specification
3 Digital cameras (MP or VGA)
Pentium Processor
512MB RAM
MIN 2GB HARD DISK SPACE

- Software Specification
-MATLAB
-OpenCV
-Blob Database (storage of recorded images)
-JSP

CONSTRAINTS FOR FACIAL RECOGNITION

- Focus on particular area
- Recognize faces even at different light textures.
- Space between students are considered to be minimal
- Pose for recognition should be with Face up as well as eyes looking towards the cameras.
- Provide suitable set up of camera such that it is able to obtain a quality image.

IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE
- Usage of 3 cameras placed in front of the class.
- Each camera takes a picture.
- Facial Detection algorithm is implemented and in each of the images Faces are extracted.
- After extraction each face that has been extracted is compared with image in database using PCA
facial recognition algorithm.
- If image is matched, then details are forwarded to the attendance registry.
- Attendance registry keeps track of attendance for individual subjects and then total attendance
percentage is calculated.
