Attendance Monitoring System Using Biometrics in PHP

Attendance monitoring has become a very strenuous task in Schools, Colleges and Universities. Paper based attendance recording and monitoring require a significant amount of time and effort by the instructor. Most of the educational institutions in developed countries have an online system to monitor the student's attendance. Even web based attendance monitoring system takes a lot of time for this routine based task. This paper focuses on the usage of intelligent systems in classrooms for recording student's attendance that are linked to RFID technology, face detection mechanism and also based on the location of student's registered mobile device. RFID is one of the popular identification technologies used since it is cost effective and sustainable. Along with RFID, biometric face detection and location capturing (ethernet router log) makes this system fully trustworthy and along with this provides a robust platform for attendance monitoring system.
