Chapter 1: Introduction
The integration of ICT in educational institutions has paved the way for smarter, more
efficient solutions to administrative challenges. One persistent issue has been the
management of student attendance. Traditional paper-based methods are error-prone,
time-consuming, and lack real-time tracking. This project proposes the development of a
Smart Campus Attendance Management System (SCAMS), a robust digital system that
utilizes RFID technology, facial recognition, and mobile integration to automate attendance
tracking.
Problem Definition
Manual attendance systems are inefficient and susceptible to manipulation, especially in
large classes. There is a pressing need for a reliable, real-time, and tamper-proof system
that can record and analyze attendance data effectively.
Objectives
- To design and implement a system that automates the attendance process using RFID and
facial recognition.
- To provide a web-based dashboard for administrators to monitor attendance trends.
- To develop a mobile interface for students to check attendance records.
Chapter 2: Literature Survey
Past research and system implementations have explored the use of biometric and RFID
technologies in automating attendance. A study by Kumar et al. (2020) demonstrated
improved efficiency using RFID-based tracking in universities. Facial recognition has also
been successfully employed, though challenges in accuracy and lighting conditions persist.
This project builds upon these technologies to deliver a more integrated solution.
Chapter 3: Research Methods and Tools
Research Methods to be Used
The project will adopt an iterative software development approach. Data will be collected
through observation, stakeholder interviews, and system prototyping. Feedback loops will
guide system refinement.
