PROPOSED TITLE 1:
STUDENT ATTENDANCE MONITORING SYSTEM USING FINGERPRINT

REASON/S WHY YOU WANT TO PROPOSE THE TOPIC

SOMETIMES THE DISCUSSION WAS BEING DELAYED.
SOME ATTENDANCE SHEET WAS LOST.

Problems Encountered Objectives/Solution

Lack of time to discuss the topic To design a system that help student and faculties
to check the attendance

Another student can easily sign an attendance on To check the attendance whether the student is
behalf of another student(if the student is absent) absent or present
Attendance Sheet sometimes lost To design a new system that can keep papers from
lost

Review of Related Literature

Based on National Institute of Technology Rourke, an student attendance system which could
effectively manage attendance of students at institutes like NIT Rourkela. Attendance is marked after
student identification. For student identification, a fingerprint recognition based identification system is
used. Fingerprints are considered to be the best and fastest method for biometric identification. They are
secure to use, unique for every person and do not change in one’s lifetime. Fingerprint recognition is a
mature field to-day, but still identifying individual from a set of enrolled fingerprints is a time taking
process. It was our responsibility to improve the fingerprint identification system for implementation on
large databases e.g. of an institute or a country etc. In this project, many new algorithms have been used
e.g. gender estimation, key based one too many matching, removing boundary minutiae. Using these new
algorithms, we have developed an identification system which is faster in implementation than any other
available today in the market. Although we are using this fingerprint identification system for student
identification purpose in our project, the matching results are so good that it could perform very well on
large databases like that of a country like India (MNIC Project).
According to Autlum University, monitoring student attendance in the UK has become a prime
concern for Universities in recent months, due to a perceived lack of accuracy in reports submitted to the
UK Borders Agency and political pressure about wider immigration issues. This project proposes a
biometrics-based solution to that concern which also conforms to legislative pressures on data governance
and information security, but which can provide accurate, reliable data for the institution to

use in future reports to UKBA. All biometric techniques obviate the need to carry a token or card, or to
remember several passwords, and reduce the risk of lost, forgotten or copied passwords, stolen tokens or
over the shoulder attacks. This project shall focus on using fingerprint recognition, mainly due to the low-
cost of devices for deployment and high user acceptance.Fingerprint recognition has traditionally been
used for data access amongst a mobile population with increasingly portable devices, but it can also be
employed for monitoring purposes, and this project defines on how it could be used in this context to
provide a fingerprint-based student attendance register.This project set out to overcome the drawbacks of
the current attendance system, which can be fooled by “buddy swiping” of absent students RFID card of
signing the register sheet on behalf of absentee students within a university. An application was designed
within MATLAB to identify pattern in data, extract vectors from a fingerprint image and map values to
the new area, then to verify a student who swipes his fingerprint against those values. The requirement
was to make this system work asynchronously so that constant internet and database connections are now
required, to deliver outstanding rates of accuracy, and to ensure this could work on machines with very
low computing power so that it can be utilized in mobile device in the future.
According to Epe Campus, Nigeria, the development of an attendance management system using
biometrics is proposed. Managing student attendance during lecture periods has become a difficult
challenge. The ability to compute the attendance percentage becomes a major task as manual computation
produces errors, and also wastes a lot of time. For the stated reason, an efficient attendance management
system using biometrics is designed. This system takes attendance electronically with the help of a finger
print device and the records of the attendance are stored in a database. Attendance is marked after student
identification. For student identification, a biometric (fingerprint) identification based system is used.
This process however, eliminates the need for stationary materials and personnel for the keeping of
records. Eighty candidates were used to test the system and success rate of 94% was recorded. The
manual attendance system average execution time for eighty students was 17.83 seconds while it was 3.79
seconds for the automatic attendance management system using biometrics. Rather than signing an
attendance sheet, individuals will pass their thumb over the fingerprint scanner, the finger print is
compared against a list of pre-registered users, and once a match is made, the individual will be registered
as having attended that lecture. The paper discusses related works in the problem domain; highlights the
general overview of the proposed system; details design considerations of the system, both at the
hardware and software level; discusses the operation and how the system was tested in conformity to
system design and functional. objectives; concludes the observations made; and makes recommendations
for future improvement.
