 ABSTRACT
 The face is one of the easiest ways to distinguish the individual identity
of each other. FACE DETECTION ATTENDANCE SYSTEM uses personal
characteristics of a person to identify the person's identity. Human face
recognition procedure basically consists of two phases, namely face
detection, where this process takes place very rapidly in humans, except
under conditions where the object is located at a short distance away, the
next is the introduction, which recognize a face as individuals. Stage is then
replicated and developed as a model for facial image recognition (face
recognition) is one of the much-studied biometrics technologies and
developed by experts. There are many types of Attendance Systems
available in market some of them uses fingerprint scanner and some
advance system uses retina scanner but it is not easy to access fast in more
crowded area like school, colleges and offices. So the solution is Face
Detection one camera can easily attend 3-4 persons in a second it means it
can make attendance of a class within a minute without making any extra
efforts. The software requirement for this project is OpenCV OCR Tesseract
and Python 3.6 and above There are vast number of applications from this
face detection project, this project can be extended that the various parts in
the face can be detect which are in various directions and shapes.

project is developed as Computer application, and it will work for a particular
institute or organization. But later on the project can be modified to Centralized
System which can also use as airport security.

 The intention of developing face detection attendance system is to computerized

the tradition way of enhance.
  Another purpose for developing this software is to generate the desired reports
automatically at the end of the session or in the between of the session as they
require.

 This project is basically a desktop application which means self-contained

software runs on the system on which it has been installed under the user control
and it will work for a particular institute or college only.

Purpose:

 The purpose of developing Student Information Corner is to computerized the

tradition way of getting information. Another purpose for developing this software
is to generate the report automatically at the end of the session or in the between of
the session.
 Create Software application to be used in place of old paper based students
Attendance System.

the world
 SYSTEM ANALYSIS

EXISTING SYSTEM:

In the present scenario, the existing system has many drawbacks which
make it inefficient to carry on with also in present scenario student have to
keep themselves updated by going daily college .

 They have to Take attendance Manuall y which is consuming time

 Sometime they missed their attendance due to late or some other reason .

 It is very difficult for every student to mark their attendance at proper

time without wasting their precious time

 Sometime student forget to mark attendance of lectures .

 Student have to make manual attendance or teacher has to take attendance

by himself

 Existing S ystem keep Student away from technology.

PROPOSED SYSTEM :

The main to developed This Software can easily install in any machine and it can
operate automatically just one-time setup and you can save much time without any
distraction.
You can also operate its database remotely and can see attendance from any part of
the world.
This System solve many difficulties for Students and Teachers too

 With the proposed system Admin is able to Add and Remove Student and can
see their attendance records .
 Once student entered into the premises they will automaticall y marked present
for that time

INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY
The Project is coded in Visual Studio Coad. When it comes to developing great
applications and software for python, it‟s absolutely crucial that the right technology be
used from the beginning. For that reason
You can easily use this software in any device which supports python.
When you use us, you can rest assured that you will be getting great software built with
best practices in mind. We use all of the following technology and much more in bringing
your vision to life and ensuring that it runs smoothly.

Visual Studio Coad

Visual Studio is an “up and coming” IDE that provides a wide variety of different
features. It is emerging as a great alternative to Android Studio that is perfect for certain
kinds of projects. We always centralize your project on the IDE that is correct for it!

Python
You already know Python as one of the most established programming languages when it
comes to developing dynamic content Python is faster and more secure than it is on many
traditional desktop implementations, allowing us to unlock its full power.

OpenCV OCR Tesseract

(Face credential encoder and decoder)

Among Many OCR (Optical Character Recognition) I Found Tesseract is the best for facial
Recognition
 SYSTEM DESIGN

The system after careful analysis has been identified to be presented with the
following modules and roles.
The modules involved are:
 Admin Page
This module is able to do the following things:
 Add or Remove Students.
 Add Remove or Update Subjects.
 Check Attendance Records

 Students or other staff

 Attendance Setup Page
 ENTITY-RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM:

An entity–relationship model (ER model for short) describes interrelated things of interest in
a specific domain of knowledge. A basic ER model is composed of entity types (which
classify the things of interest) and specifies relationships that can exist between instances of
those entity types.

In software engineering, an ER model is commonly formed to represent things that a business

needs to remember in order to perform business processes. Consequently, the ER model
becomes an abstract data model that defines a data or information structure which can be
implemented in a database, typically a relational database.

 Class Diagram

The UML Class diagram is a graphical notation used to construct and visualize object oriented systems. A
class diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of static structure diagram that describes
the structure of a system by showing the systems:

 classes,
 their attributes,
 operations (or methods),
 And the relationships among objects.

What is a Class?
A Class is a blueprint for an object. Objects and classes go hand in hand. We can't talk about one without
talking about the other. And the entire point of Object-Oriented Design is not about objects, it's about
classes, because we use classes to create objects. So a class describes what an object will be, but it isn't the
object itself.

In fact, classes describe the type of objects, while objects are usable instances of classes. Each Object was
built from the same set of blueprints and therefore contains the same components (properties and
methods). The standard meaning is that an object is an instance of a class and object - Objects have states
and behaviors.

Class Notation
A class represents a concept which encapsulates state (attributes) and behavior (operations). Each
attribute has a type. Each operation has a signature. The class name is the only mandatory information.

Class Name:

 The name of the class appears in the first partition.

Class Attributes:

 Attributes are shown in the second partition.

 The attribute type is shown after the colon.
 Attributes map onto member variables (data members) in code.
Class Operations (Methods):

 Operations are shown in the third partition. They are services the class provides.
 The return type of a method is shown after the colon at the end of the method signature.
 The return type of method parameters are shown after the colon following the parameter name. Operations
map onto class methods in code

Class Visibility

The +, - and # symbols before an attribute and operation name in a class denote the visibility of the
attribute and operation.

 + denotes public attributes or operations

 - denotes private attributes or operations
 # denotes protected attributes or operations
 USE CASE DIAGRAM

Actors:
Admin: since the system is used by him

Student: since who used the system.

A use case is a set of scenarios that describing an interaction In the Software. A use
case diagram displays the relationship among actors and use cases. The two main
components of a use case diagram are use cases and actors.

The object-oriented approach uses the term use case to describe an activity the APP carries
out in response model that summaries the information about the actors of cases.

 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM:

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a structured analysis and design tool that can
be used for flowcharting. A DFD is a network that describes the flow of data and the
processes that change or transform the data throughout a system. This network is constructed
by using a set of symbols that do not imply any physical implementation. It has the purpose
of clarifying system requirements and identifying major transformations. So it is the starting
point of the design phase that functionally decomposes the requirements specifications down
to the lowest level of detail. DFD can be considered to an abstraction of the logic of an
information- oriented or a process-oriented system flow-chart. For these reasons DFD„s are
often referred to as logical data flow diagrams.

EXTERNAL ENTITY

An external entity is a source or destination of a data flow. Only those entities which
originate or receive data are represented on a data flow diagram. The symbol used is a
rectangular box.

PROCESS

A process shows a transformation or manipulation of data flow within the system. The
symbol used is an oval shape.

DATAFLOW

The data flow shows the flow of information from a source to its destination. Data flow is
represented by a line, with arrowheads showing the direction of flow. Information always
flows to or from a process and may be written, verbal or electronic. Each data flow may be
referenced by the processes or data stores at its head and tail, or by a description of its
contents.

 ACTIVITY DIAGRAM:

Activity diagram are a loosely defined diagram technique for showing workflow of
stepwise and action, with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. An activity diagrams
shows the over control.

Activity diagram is basically a flow chart to represent the flow form one activity to
another form. Activity can be described as an operation of the system.

So, the control floe is drawn from one operation to another. This flow can be
sequential, and concurrent. Activity diagram deals with all type of flow control by using
different elements like fork.

It does not show any message floe form one activity to another. Activity diagram is
considered as the flow chart.

Before drawing an activity diagram, we should identify the following elements:

 Activities
 Association
 Condition
 Constraint
 State Transition Diagram

State-transition diagrams describe all of the states that an object can

have, the events under which an object changes state (transitions),
the conditions that must be fulfilled before the transition will occur
(guards), and the activities undertaken during the life of an object
(actions). State-transition diagrams are very useful for describing
the behavior of individual objects over the full set of use cases that
affect those objects. State-transition diagrams are not useful for
describing the collaboration between objects that cause the
transitions.

 SEQUENCE DIAGRAM

Sequence diagram demonstrate the behavior of objects in a use case by describing the object
and the messages they pass. The diagrams are read left to right and descending. Sequence
diagram generally show the sequence of events that occur.

A sequence diagram shows how processed operate with one another. Sequence diagram are
also sometime called event trace diagram. A sequence diagram shows parallel vertical lines.
Different processed or object that live simultaneous and a horizontal arrows, the messages
exchange between then, in the order in which they occur.

Sequence diagram emphasizes on time sequence of message on the structural organization of

the objects that send and receive messages.

A sequence diagram shows the sequence of the instruction between the object that occurs
during the flow of event of a single scenario or use case.

The symbols used in the sequence diagram are as follows:

Actor: stick figure representing a role

Object: A rectangle with the name of the object underlined.

Connecting: connecting line to show the direction with the message

above the line.

The lifetime symbol: represented by a line or a narrow vertical rectangle.

 Implementation and Testing

Testing Approach
Software testing is defined as an activity to check whether the actual results match the expected results
and to ensure that the software system is Defect free. It involves execution of a software component or
system component to evaluate one or more properties of interest.

Software testing also helps to identify errors, gaps or missing requirements in contrary to the actual
requirements. It can be either done manually or using automated tools. Some prefer saying Software
testing as a White Box and Black Box Testing.

In simple terms, Software Testing means Verification of Application under Test (AUT).

Testing is important because software bugs could be expensive or even dangerous. Software bugs can
potentially cause monetary and human loss, and history is full of such examples.

 In April 2015, Bloomberg terminal in London crashed due to software glitch affected more than
300,000 traders on financial markets. It forced the government to postpone a 3bn pound debt
sale.
 Nissan cars have to recall over 1 million cars from the market due to software failure in the
airbag sensory detectors. There have been reported two accidents due to this software failure.
 Starbucks was forced to close about 60 percent of stores in the U.S and Canada due to software
failure in its POS system. At one point store served coffee for free as they unable to process the
transaction.
 Some of the Amazon‟s third party retailers saw their product price is reduced to 1p due to a
software glitch. They were left with heavy losses.
 Vulnerability in Window 10. This bug enables users to escape from security sandboxes through a
flaw in the win32k system.
 In 2015 fighter plane F-35 fell victim to a software bug, making it unable to detect targets
correctly.
 China Airlines Airbus A300 crashed due to a software bug on April 26, 1994, killing 264
innocent live
  In 1985, Canada's Therac-25 radiation therapy machine malfunctioned due to software bug and
delivered lethal radiation doses to patients, leaving 3 people dead and critically injuring 3 others.
 In April of 1999, a software bug caused the failure of a $1.2 billion military satellite launch, the
costliest accident in history
 In May of 1996, a software bug caused the bank accounts of 823 customers of a major U.S. bank
to be credited with 920 million US dollars.

Types of Software Testing

Typically Testing is classified into three categories.

 Functional Testing

In my project Functional testing will be done to ensure that every component are functioning
properly.so that student are provided with the correct information

 Non-Functional Testing or Performance Testing

Non-functional testing is defined as a type of Software testing to check non-functional aspects

(performance, usability, reliability, etc.) of a software application. It is designed to test the
readiness of a system as per nonfunctional parameters which are never addressed by functional
testing.

 Maintenance (Regression and Maintenance)

Once the student Information Corner App come into existence, its maintenance will see by the
admin, to ensure that all the time students get correct information.
