Abstract :
This paper introduces a new approach in automatic attendance management systems, extended with computer vision algorithms. We propose using real time face detection algorithms integrated on an existing Learning Management System (LMS), which automatically detects and registers students attending on a lecture. The system represents a supplemental tool for instructors, combining algorithms used in machine learning with adaptive methods used to track facial changes during a longer period of time. This new system aims to be less time consuming than traditional methods, at the same time being nonintrusive and not interfere with the regular teaching process. The tool promises to offer accurate results and a more detailed reporting system which shows student activity and attendance in a classroom.
