Abstract
In many institutions, business firms and organizations, the collection of attendance data is taken very seriously as the management at these organizations tend to dislike absenteeism, late coming and these organizations seem to sanction the individuals involved. These organizations also hope to encourage punctuality by rewarding people who are perpetually on time. Traditionally, the method of attendance taking used to be done manually using a physical register booklet. This method is prone to manipulation and impersonation. The attendance register could get damaged, stolen or lost. Therefore, several electronic techniques were developed to counter some notable flaws typical with the traditional method. These electronic techniques are not without flaws and drawbacks as well. This project implements a solution that makes use of an electronic technique (Biometric Fingerprint Recognition) for human identification as well as some other novel techniques to battle gaffes present in currently used technologies.
