Abstract:
The aim of project is to introducing the use of biometric base technologies in automating the attendance system for the students in different institutions. The goal of the project can be subdivided into smaller targets like fingerprint capture, fingerprint image processing, template generation and wireless transfer of data in a client server base environment. For each sub-task, various methods from literature are analyzed. From the study of the entire process, an integrated approach is proposed.
Use of biometrics based technologies is efficient personal identifiers as they make use of characteristics that are unique in each person. Among these technologies, Fingerprint recognition is universally applied. It extracts minutia- based features from images scanned by fingerprint scanners made by the different ridges and valleys on the finger-tips. The student attendance system can be very useful in an institute like Military College of Signals since it aims at eliminating all the drawbacks of attendance system.
