dc.description.abstractTraditional pen-and-notebook methods for employee attendance are often susceptible to inaccuracies and falsifications. Biometric systems, despite being more secure, confront issues such as high acquisition costs and inefficiencies in capturing fingerprints, especially when hands are unclean or injured. In this study, a cutting-edge Employee Attendance Tracking System using Facial Recognition is developed, addressing the shortcomings of conventional attendance methods and biometric systems. The proposed system employs an array of Python libraries including Django, face_recognition, OpenCV (cv2), numpy, and PCA. These libraries are utilized for their strengths in image processing, facial recognition, and efficient data management. The primary objective is to create a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient alternative for recording employee attendance, overcoming the limitations of existing methods.The system utilizes advanced image processing techniques to tackle common challenges in facial recognition, such as noise interference, varying lighting conditions, and physical obstructions like occlusions. This is achieved through innovative approaches like noise reduction, illumination normalization, and occlusion handling, significantly improving the accuracy of facial recognition under diverse environmental conditions. A key component of the system is the "Capture_Image" module, which establishes a reference database by capturing and storing employee images. Concurrently, the "Recognize" module employs machine learning algorithms for facial recognition, ensuring accurate and timely recording of attendance. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated in its ability to adapt to a variety of environments, attributed to its advanced image processing capabilities and robust algorithmic framework. This innovative system is particularly advantageous for institutions, corporate offices, and industries seeking secure, precise, and efficient attendance tracking solutions. It marks a significant advancement in the field of attendance management, offering a blend of enhanced security, accuracy, and operational efficiency. The study recommends further enhancements, such as incorporating advanced algorithms to improve recognition accuracy in different lighting and noise conditions.
