The process of taking attendance manually can be troublesome and time consuming. However taking attendance is mandatory in most of the educational institutions in India. The usual process of taking attendance involves the faculty manually calling out the names of the students in an order and marking his/her presence in a sheet of paper. The existing method of marking attendance is slow and students may fool the faculties in marking proxies if the classroom strength is large enough. There are various ways to automate the attendance marking process using technologies like biometric sensors , RFID cards , facial recognition , BLE beacon cards etc. This paper focuses on implementing a BLE beacon based attendance marking system with facial recognition technology for authentication. It uses BLE beacon cards communicate with android application to enable marking attendance. The app uses facial recognition technology to authenticate every user before marking attendance. This makes the process of marking attendance faster and is proxy safe.
