Download or Clone the project

First Download or Clone the Project on Your Local Machine.To download the project from github press Download Zip

or

You can clone the project with git bash.To clone the project using git bash first open the git bash and write the following code

git clone https://github.com/kmhmubin/Face-Recognition-Attendance-System.git

demo

After download, Open the project using Pycharm or VSCODE. Then we have to create an python enviroment to run the program.

create enviroment

First open the terminal or command line in the IDE.Then write the following code.

python -m venv env

Then activate the enviroment using the code below for windows.

.\env\Scripts\activate

[ Notice: If your pc don't have virtual enviroment or pip install the follow this link. How to create Virtual Enviroment ]

Installing the packages

---

After creating the enviroment on your project let's install the necessary packages.

To install those package open the terminal or command line and paste the code from below

pip install opencv-contrib-python

pip install numpy

pip install pandas

pip install Pillow

pip install pytest-shutil

pip install python-csv

pip install yagmail

[ **Notice: During the package installization, sometime it shows some error, to avoid those error you can install those packages as admin. ]

Test Run 🚴

---

After creating the enviroment and installing the packages, open the IDE terminal/command line to run the program. Using the code below.

py main.py

Here is a demo to run the program. I'm Using the Pycharm IDE in my demo.

6. Run the project using the command line or your IDE Run Button

Known Bugs 🐛

---

This project have some bugs.

• Student Details: In student details folder the StudentDetails.csv file don't have ID & name column.This problem show when the program run first time and create the StudentDetails.csv file automatically. To soleve the problelm just open the file and add ID & Name Column in the file and save it.
• Auto Attachment: This is not a problem actually. The problem is before sent auto mail we have to manually change the file name. I tried to automate the attachment but i faild.

face-recognition-attendance-system's Issues

Capturing camera opening is too slow

Hi ,

I have faced two issue

1. Check Camera option opens camera but not closes after close button click
2. Capture image option : camera opening is too slow and movement is not working

Bug fixes

Hey, I have the code which fixes the 'bugs', please reply if you want them.

Attandence

What if the Their are Twin students there will be a confusion for attandence

Attendance Problem

during the step 4, it recognizes the person, but the camera stays on and nothing happens. Camera stays on recognizing the person and it never says attendance successful.

Email attendance updated

Hi sir ,
After recognition it is not sending to my email.can you please help me to fix this issue.

does it possible in real time CCTV camera ?

Learning Image Processing

Learning how to apply facial recognition to video streams, building a complete deep learning pipeline for image classification. We need to learn OpenCV.

Learning checklist

• Face Recognition

• How do computer see an IMAGE

• What are the feature

• Face Algorithm

• How an Algorithm work

• Local Binary Patterns Histograms(LBPH)

• OpenCV

• OpenCV Cascade

• LBPH work with OpenCV

Project is not running

Packages are outdated and functions are old pls update it

Main.py has Python 2 code

The READMe.md file says this repo was built using Python 3.7. However, print statements in main.py in the Raspberry Pi files/ directory is Python 2:

print 'Training Done . . . '
print ' Done 2 . . . '

Addons to existing project

hello, Mubin myself Rahul I loved the efforts u have taken to do this project I would like to know how to generate a single CSV file for attendance details for a particular day and also how to add emotion detection to it.

problem in option 4

Learning Tools

To complete this project we need to learn some hardware and software tools which will be used in the whole project. We need to understand how tools work and how we can implement in our project.

Tools learning

• Webcam

• Raspberry Pi

• Raspbian Os

• Python

• OpenCV

Assembling Everything

Assembling everything both hardware and software. Test our machine. Finding bugs.

Problem with recognition

The project fails to recognize and provide attendance update.

Enhancement

I want to add new features on it in which

1.the admin can calculate the total working hours or active hours of the employee which will show the total active hours and,
2. improve the UI of the system
Can I work on this??

Not working

i have installed everything and followed everything but when i try to run the project nothing happens not even an error comes
py main.py does not do anything

Multiple image capture

The system is capturing multiple images and saving it in the folder. This might overload the server
