Open cv based attendance tracking and database generation to provide ease in attendance marking system

We know the fact that attendance plays a vital role not only in school or colleges but also in corporate and business sector. This actually shows your presence during the working hour. However in schools and colleges taking attendance of students is slight hectic procedure and is time intensive as well. You as a teacher or professor needs to do a lot of paper work and then the data goes to database administrator so that he’ll put the attendance details on the management information system (MIS). Thus not efficient as it should be. Same as for official purposes the biometric scanner is used i.e here rather than using your roll number you use fingerprint as your unique id. However it’s not possible for students or employees due to same arrival time as for this purpose you need to make queue and time required will be much more. However the most relevant solution could be using open CV with python as a image processing tool and managing the database automatically as the image is detected.
