    A Dual-Mode Radio-Frequency Identification and Facial Recognition System for Attendance Capturing
    (Lead City University, 2023-12) Yinka John ADEGOKE
    In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, efficient and secure attendance tracking systems are essential for various organizations. This study introduces a novel solution that combines Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and Facial Recognition technologies to create a robust attendance management system. By leveraging the capabilities of both hardware and software components, this system offers a seamless and accurate approach to recording and managing attendance data. The hardware component of the system utilizes Arduino microcontrollers and RFID modules to provide individual identification through RFID cards or tags. Each user is assigned a unique RFID card that triggers the RFID module to record the attendance information. Simultaneously, the system captures facial images using a camera module for facial recognition. A Python program processes the data using Open CV, associating it with the respective user's profile and initiates the facial recognition process. The facial recognition system identifies users by comparing the captured facial features with the pre-stored templates in the database. The system offers several advantages, including high accuracy in attendance recording, enhanced security, and rapid processing of data. Moreover, the combined approach reduces the time spent on proxy attendance, ensuring the integrity of attendance records, and creating options for attendance. The system also provides real-time attendance tracking and generates comprehensive reports for administrative purposes. This research presents a step- by-step implementation guide for setting up the RFID and Facial Recognition Attendance System using Arduino and Python, making it accessible for educational institutions, businesses, and organizations looking to streamline attendance management. The system's effectiveness is demonstrated through extensive testing, highlighting its reliability and robustness. The system represents a cutting-edge solution for modern attendance management needs. By harnessing the capabilities of the technologies adopted, this system offers a secure, accurate, and efficient approach to attendance tracking, paving the way for improved organizational efficiency and data integrity.
