Abstract In this paper, we have proposed an automated Face Recognition System for Time and Attendance application.
The model is developed with the help of real time OpenCV library The proposed system comprised of using the Viola Jones
algorithm for detecting the human faces and then the detected face is resized to the required size, this resized face is further
processed by using linear stretch contrast enhancement and finally it is recognized using a simple PCA / LDA. Once
recognition is done, automatically attendance will be updated in an Excel Sheet along with his name, date and time. An html
file is automatically updated by our system so that a remote authenticated user can access the attendance file .Our system is
integrated to an Automatic Attendance Management System, with the help of which some post attendance works like stipend
amount calculation, viewing attendance report for the required date, calculating the number of hours a person is present in
the class, searching for a required person in the classroom etc. Spoofing which is a major threat for our system can be
avoided using Eye Blink Detector algorithm. Our system can automatically update the Database for the newly enrolled
persons. The proposed system can execute the instructions given orally to it (eliminating the need of a mouse interface) and
can speak back to us.

INTRODUCTION
Holistic Approach
Feature-based Approach
In the holistic approach, the whole face is taken as
input for recognition purpose. We can use PCA
(Principal Component Analysis), for reducing the
dimensionality of the data by projecting, it onto a
lower dimensional subspace [1]. We can go for LDA
(Linear Discriminate Analysis), where the
dimensionality reduction takes place such that the
within class variance is reduced and between class
variance is maximised [2].
In Feature based Approach, local features on face
such as eyes and nose are detected and based upon
which recognition is performed [3].

A. Database Used
1) NIT Database: It is the database collected
from the 40 students of NIT Warangal. NIT face
database consists of frontal facial images taken under
different days, different lighting conditions, different
moods (smiling/crying), with and without spectacles
etc.
1) Pre-processing:
This stage consists of 3 main steps:
a) Face Detection: ViolaJones face detection
algorithm is used for Face detection.
b) Resizing: Once face is detected, it is resized
to a fixed resolution of 92 *112 pixel resolution
c) Contrast
Enhancement:
For
better
recognition accuracy, we have used Min-Max Linear
Contrast Stretch Enhancement Technique,

3)
Eye Blink Detector: Spoofing attack (copy
attack) is a major threat for our proposed system. If
instead of a live person, if we keep a photograph, it
marks the attendance of the person onto the Excel
sheet, which shouldnt be the case for
Classroom/Employee
attendance
