Faceattend
Eliminate Attendance Hassles with Face Recognition Technology
My project which I named Faceattend is a simple and convenient way for universities to track student attendance. With facial recognition technology, students can easily check in to their classes just by looking at the camera. No more paper sign-in sheets or awkward scanning of student IDs.
The reason I try to develop this simple web app is, as a student I’m facing difficulties in terms of time wastage and the tedious process of waiting in line, but the main reason is my name starts with “Y” and for that, I have to wait a lot till lecturers finish taking attendance for the rest of the class.
I have used flask framework to build this web app, for frontend, I have used HTML for making the skeleton part, a little bit of javascript for functionality, and I have used my savior bootstrap to make my web app looks good including different python modules like NumPy, OpenCV, PIL, flask_mysqldb, and others.

The most difficult part was dealing with the OpenCV python module, at the time I’m writing this blog still I have a lot of bugs while using it and generating image datasets and other parts of the function.
Overall this project help me to asses my development skill and where is my weak spot while coding so through time and dedication I will improve that parts.
My name is Yohanes Getinet, I’m a computer science and engineering student with a specialization in cloud technology and mobile application at Jain University Bengaluru, India.
