Abstract

Automation is a necessity in the current times as it\nmakes processes more economical and affordable in the long run.\nIt also frees humans from performing banal tasks day in and day\nout. Once a process is automated the only check that is to be\nperformed is whether it is turned on or not. Automated processes\nare not prone to errors and even if an error is identified\nrectification is easy and can be applied system wide without any\ndelay.\nTaking attendance is a mundane but necessary task in many\nacademic institutions. In this paper, an alternate and more\nefficient method of taking attendance is proposed that uses facial\nrecognition and cloud based IoT technology to automate the\nentire system.
