In this Attendance System the attendance for students is marked using Face verification. The Faculty has the permission to take Attendance, add a student, modify student details. The Faculty can also search for attendance of a student using Multiparameter Search, by specifying the student ID, date of attendance, period of Attendance.
The credentials for the Faculty are provided by the superuser who has access to the whole database. Only the superuser can update the attendance of a student.
Django web framework was used for the development of the whole web app. OpenCv and face_recognition API's were used for the development of Face Recognizer. The Face Recognizer can detect multiple faces at a time and mark their attendance into Database.
Note: Python version 3.6 was used for this project. And the dlib package required for installation of face_recognition api is also uploaded.
To run the web app on your local computer, install the required libraries(requirements.txt) using the command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
and run the following command in the command prompt:
python manage.py runserverTo create your own credential for logging into the application
python manage.py createsuperuserAfter running the above command and creating the credentials, you can use the same credentials for logging in.
