 ABSTRACT

This project focuses on implementing modern face recognition techniques using deep
learning algorithms to accurately identify individuals based on facial features. It follows a
step-by-step approach, beginning with detecting faces in images using the Histogram of
Oriented Gradients (HOG) method. The next step involves aligning the faces to account
for variations in pose and lighting, achieved by estimating key facial landmarks (eyes, nose,
mouth) using advanced machine learning models. Once aligned, the system encodes each
face into a 128-dimensional numerical vector (embedding) using a pre-trained
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which is robust enough to handle new, unseen
images. The final step involves classifying the identified face by comparing the generated
embedding to a database of known faces using a simple linear SVM classifier, achieving
accurate recognition even under varying conditions. This project leverages Python libraries
like OpenFace and dlib to automate the entire process, making it scalable and efficient for
real-world applications such as security, social media platforms, and interactive
systems.Face Recognition, Deep Learning, Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG),

 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Objective

The objective of this project is to develop an intelligent and efficient face recognition system for
real-time attendance management. The system aims to accurately identify individuals by
processing images and automatically marking attendance, thereby minimizing manual intervention
and reducing errors. It leverages advanced techniques like Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG)
for face detection, landmark-based alignment for pose correction, and deep learning embeddings
for precise feature extraction. Machine learning algorithms classify the faces to determine matches,
enabling accurate identification. A user-friendly interface ensures ease of use, allowing dynamic
image uploads and seamless processing. The ultimate goal is to create a robust, scalable, and
reliable solution for automating attendance management systems in various applications.

1.2 Problem Statement

Traditional attendance management systems rely heavily on manual processes, such as roll calls
or physical log entries, which are time-consuming, error-prone, and susceptible to manipulation.
These methods can lead to inefficiencies in record-keeping, inaccuracies in tracking, and
administrative overhead. There is a need for an intelligent, automated system that can accurately
identify individuals and mark attendance in real-time without manual intervention.

The solution must ensure precise detection and recognition of faces under varying conditions,
such as lighting and pose, while being user-friendly and scalable for different use cases, such as
schools, offices, or events. This project addresses these challenges by leveraging advanced face
recognition techniques and machine learning algorithms to streamline and enhance the attendance
management process.

 2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

2.1 Existing System

Most existing face recognition systems rely heavily on traditional image processing techniques or
pre-trained models that struggle with real-time and diverse operational scenarios. While they have
shown effectiveness in controlled environments, several limitations persist:

Key Limitations:

 Dependence on Predefined Datasets:

o Traditional systems rely on limited datasets for training, leading to poor
performance in diverse real-world conditions, such as varying lighting or facial
orientations.
o Systems often fail to adapt dynamically to new faces without extensive retraining.
 Lack of Real-Time Processing:
o These systems are not optimized for real-time attendance management, resulting in
delays during large-scale face detection or recognition tasks.
o High latency in recognition pipelines makes them unsuitable for real-time
applications in dynamic environments like schools or offices.
 Minimal Customization Options:
o Users cannot dynamically adjust recognition parameters like similarity thresholds
or preprocessing options.
o Systems fail to account for personalized requirements, such as handling specific
angles or occlusions.

2.2 Proposed System

The proposed face recognition system addresses these challenges by leveraging advanced
techniques like HOG-based detection, deep face embeddings (e.g., FaceNet), and real-time
processing capabilities. The system dynamically processes input images and marks attendance by
recognizing faces accurately, even under challenging conditions.

two faces are. It is defined as:

d=∑i=1n(xi−yi)2d = \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - y_i)^2}d=i=1∑n(xi−yi)2

4.3 Results

System Interface
The main interface of the face recognition system allows users to initiate the recognition process
or view logs of recorded attendance. The layout ensures simplicity and ease of use for
administrators, allowing them to upload data and receive results in real-time.

Figures:
Streamlit Interface for Face Recognition
This figure showcases the system interface where users can initiate a recognition session by
uploading facial images in JPG format. The sidebar provides options to upload JPG images,

15 | 25 P a g e Project 2025-2026
preprocess them for alignment and normalization, view attendance logs, and download the
generated attendance reports. The intuitive design ensures ease of use for administrators while
maintaining compatibility with image input requirements.

Figure 1: Face Detection with Bounding Boxes

Face detection is the process of identifying and localizing faces in an image or video. In this phase,
bounding boxes are drawn around the detected faces, marking the regions of interest. This step
focuses solely on detection without assigning labels or identities to the faces. Techniques like
Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) or deep learning models such as YOLO or RetinaFace
are commonly used for this task. The bounding boxes enable further processing, such as alignment
or recognition, by isolating facial regions from the background.

Figure 2: Face Detection Output

The system highlights detected faces with bounding boxes labeled by the corresponding
student’s name. This recognition output is achieved using HOG for face detection and FaceNet
embeddings for identity matching.

Figure 3: Attendance Log Interface
The system displays the attendance records in tabular format, showing the student’s name and
recognition timestamp. This log is continuously updated during the session and can be
downloaded for offline use.

Outcome:
The system demonstrates seamless integration of face recognition capabilities, real-time outputs,
and automated attendance generation, ensuring practicality and reliability in educational
environments.

The system demonstrates the following outcomes:

 Face Detection Accuracy:

Bounding boxes accurately identify facial regions in images and videos.
 Recognition Success Rate:
High accuracy in identifying registered individuals, even in varying conditions.
 Attendance Logging:
Reliable generation of attendance logs, including names and timestamps, for seamless
documentation.
 User Experience:
A user-friendly interface that facilitates effortless interaction, ensuring broad accessibility
across devices.
