The main aim of this project is to create a smart attendance monitoring system which will use the concept of face recognition to identify students. On the basis of this a database will be created containing the information of attendance date wise. Apart from reducing time it will also help in replacing the laborious conventional method of using logbooks. The system also has the feature to send emails to the administrator about the student ‘s attendance status at the time of recognition itself. At the time of closing of the camera absentees’ names will be called out.
