Facial Detection and
Recognition for Attendance
Under Python environment

Introduction
• A human’s cognitive memory is less perceptive than a
computer’s and humans had been experience difficulty in
identifying faces for identification and security
measurement. These kind of cases can cause problems
such as invasion of privacy and possibly harm innocent
civilians.
Project Background
• Face detection and recognition were invented in the 1960s.
• At first, they function as semi-automated system which was accompanied by assistance operators.
• In the 21st century, facial recognition is fully-automated and uses either body parts or facial features
for identification and security system.
• Eventually, diverse technological companies and enterprises are implementing facial recognition in
their products.
• When it comes to security systems in Asian countries, China, which is in par with the technology of
Western countries, has 60 airports equipped with facial recognition system. Cameras at 557 security
channels capture images of faces and scan their passports and ID cards to verify an identity.
• In the Philippines, their country’s military are in process of acquiring facial recognition software and
drones in order to improve their intelligence capabilities as it combats terrorism. The Philippines has
also approved national biometric ID system, and had also issued biometric drivers’ licenses in the year
2017. Similarly in other Asian-pacific countries (Singapore and Malaysia) that were concerned about
their security system are most likely to engaged face recognition and detection.
Statement of the Problem
• The question below will be answered based on the data that the programmers had
gathered, the data will be validated to ensure that the statement of the problem
will be answered.
1. How does face recognition benefit companies, security surveillance, teachers
and students in schools or universities?
2. What is the economic and social impact of facial recognition in relation to the
cost?
3. What can be the advantage and the disadvantage of facial recognition in the
long run ?
4. What would be the economic and social factors of implementing facial
recognition?
General Objectives
The main purpose of the program is to provide
improved security system, efficient and organized
database management for companies, business
owners, schools, and universities.
Specific Objectives
• To track both the employees and any visitors that come to
corporation’s premises to ensure safety and to capture
trespassers.
• To eliminate the needs of physical storage and papers that
contain records especially attendance in schools, physical file
handling of student, teacher, and personnel records.

Conclusion
In accordance to the observation of the programmer regarding the “Facial
Detection and Recognition for Attendance Under Python environment” the
programmers can conclude that the program can help multiple companies,
universities and other establishment for replacing the old attendance scheme such
as the I.D. card and the program don’t just covered the attendance but rather can
be used in security purpose as like surveillance if crime were committed under any
areas.
The programmers also wants to elaborate the other purpose which is to lessen
documents, papers, and other stuff needed for records, in this way the need for
storage for tangible documents will be lessen.
