RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

Nowadays, computer vision is the trending field, which includes major real time
applications including attendance monitoring using face detection, object
detection, traffic maintenance, safety surveillance, medical imaging, etc.
Attendance updated on every day is a time and manpower effort consuming
process for all universities, colleges, schools, to overcome this problem, we need
an efficient system to make it automatically without any manpower consumption
and time consumption. Considering this, we proposed machine learning based face
recognition, attendance monitoring and message alert system to parents. In
proposed work, LBPH and Haar Cascade Classifier are used for face recognition.
In our proposed work, admin can train all the available students and maintain their
database, when the students are available in class room, webcam will capture
image update attendance for all available students. Similarly, the student’s
presence can be intimated to their parents.
The following table shows the performance analysis of proposed face recognition
and attendance monitoring system.
Parameters Values
Number of Students added 6
Number of dataset collected per student 300
Number of faces trained 6
Number of faces detected 6
Number of faces identified 5
Table : Performance Analysis
From the above analysis it is clear that we can collect any number of students data,
any number of faces can be trained. On detection time, we need front face of the
candidate clearly shown in the camera to avoid wrong recognition. As every
machine learning has its error and losses, we can faced some error on detection. In
future, we can research on deep learning techniques to avoid error in detections.
Apart from factors like human appearance variations, there are still some design
issues to be taken into account. They are i) Speed of the system, ii) huge databases;
iii) Bring the algorithm to handle the uncontrolled level condition. The above said
problems need to be addressed to provide better results in Feature extraction and
Face Recognition. An effective framework is to be designed to give solution to the
above problems in this field.
From the result update, even one month data of attendance can be maintained for
students. Our proposed application can be deployed in college, schools and offices,
where it can be integrated with payroll and makes the process simple.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Face detection is currently a very active area of research. Recent years have shown
great advances in algorithms dealing with complex environments. Some of the best
algorithms are still too expensive in terms of calculation to be applicable in real
time, but this is likely to change with upcoming improvements in hardware. The
characteristics of Haar used in the effort by Viola and Jones are very simple and
effective for the detection frontal of the face, but they are less ideal for random
faces. It is interesting, to see face detection techniques increasingly used in real
applications. For example, most digital cameras today have built-in face sensors,
which can help the camera to better focus autofocus and auto exposure, which is
also an important technique for interfaces. man-machine, to allow a more natural
interaction between a human and a computer, etc.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
The most direct direction to come is to further improve the algorithms and learning
features. Four main directions must be addressed: In a first step, the integration of
a more reliable face detector which copes with several problems shown by the
Haar detectors must be considered. In a second step, to test with more ML
algorithms for concluding which methods performs the best classification results.
In a third step, to test with ensemble learning for improving recognition accuracy.
Finally, in a fourth step, to implement the ML techniques in OpenCV, for
compacting the current face detection and recognition system. In future, the deep
learning techniques can be considered.
