Microsoft Engage Mentorship program'22 project

Class Attendee - Automated attendance marking tool for whole class in just one click by faculty using Face Recognition

Overview

As it's difficult or very time consuming to take attendance of students on papers also sometimes students mark the fake proxy of their friends 😁 So to remove this I came with a solution: Class Attendee !!

Class Attendee - An automated attendance marking tool that uses facial recognition to take attendance of the whole class to easen work and save time for the professor. This is solely built during the period of Microsoft Engage Mentorship program'22 conducted by Microsoft to provide mentorship and to enrich freshmen with various software development techniques.

Problem statement (as given)

To build a fully functional prototype to demonstrate the application of Face Recognition Technology

General Features and Interfaces:

Future Plans :-

Feature	Explanation
Export Attendance as Excel	User/Professor can easily fetch attendance in form of excel.
Security Features	The web-application would provide more security and better user interface and user experience to the product.
Class Management	All class management activities (branch/section wise) separately for every year students, creating assignment in the application itself assigning tasks and keep a record of every student activites individually in different sections.
