Abstract

Reliable documentation of attendance remains a persistent operational burden in educational institutions and corporate settings alike. Conventional solutions — spanning handwritten roll calls to token-based card readers — are routinely compromised by proxy attendance, labour-intensive record keeping, and limited scalability. Growing dissatisfaction with these limitations motivates the development of intelligent, low-infrastructure alternatives rooted in contemporary AI techniques. This paper proposes an automated, touchless attendance capture system founded on a sequential three-layer deep learning pipeline. The detection layer employs a Multi-Task Cascaded Convolutional Network (MTCNN) to scan live video and isolate individual faces along with associated anatomical landmarks. The representation layer then processes the geometrically normalised face crops through a FaceNet model built on an Inception-ResNet-v1 backbone, producing a compact 128-dimensional feature vector per face via triplet-loss-driven metric learning. Finally, the decision layer applies a Support Vector Machine with a Radial Basis Function kernel to associate each embedding with a registered identity that was enrolled offline. Evaluation spanned two distinct data sources: the publicly accessible Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) benchmark alongside an institution-specific corpus drawn from 50 volunteers photographed across varied lighting environments. The pipeline achieved 98.7% accuracy on the local dataset and 99.1% on LFW, with per-frame processing completing in 120 milliseconds. The False Acceptance Rate was confined to 0.8%. A Flask-powered administrative dashboard facilitates live monitoring and automated report export.
