Abstract

First thing every teacher typically does when they get to school is taken attendance for their first class of the day, and this is still done on a piece of paper, completely manually, and takes a large amount of time for the teacher to decide if a student is present or not. Furthermore, many rural schools continue to use these old ways of taking attendance (In paper Register). As we all know, these types of methods are slow, they can be easily messed up, and therefore very difficult to manage.
This research paper provides a method to take attendance automatically using a system developed for rural school systems. Our method can be implemented by any rural school, even those who don't currently have any advanced teaching support or technology. Our system will require cameras to monitor students in classrooms, taking live video of the students and processing this video to identify which students are in class Room based on their identity in the school's database, and automatically updating the database of student attendance.
Implementing this method will eliminate the need for manually taking attendance of classes and save time for both teachers and students. This method will also reduce paper work and will have accurate and more secure records of student attendance maintained for many years. This research paper will provide a solution for the Automatic Attendance System at a very low cost to rural school.
