IAAS: IoT-Based Automatic Attendance System with Photo Face Recognition in Smart Campus

Abstract

The existing attendance checking system uses student identification (ID) cards or mobile applications. If the attendance is processed by an automatic attendance checking system, the attendance checking process can be more convenient for both students and professors than manual attendance checking. For getting these advantages, this paper proposes an IoT-based Automatic Attendance System (IAAS). IAAS is an attendance checking system using a face recognition technology. The image data of students are collected by a capturing device (e.g., smartphone and tablet PC) and processed by the face recognition system. This system checks who are attending the class and send their attendance to an attendance database system through an email notification.
