🧠   A Client to Track Event Attendance Implemented with Facial Recognition

FaceMeIn

Welcome to Anirudh's Improved Attendance System which utilizes Facial Recognition to check in members.

It is currently used by FRC Team 1072 to keep track of member hours and for safety purposes.

Note:

1. You will need to ssh into the server in order to modify the attendance database contents.
2. You will also need to modify Server/db.js to connect to the correct mongodb server.

Version 2

The camera feed runs and once a face is recognized, a popup is shown asking if they would like to check in. They can check-in or rescan. In the future, QR functionality will be added as a third option.

Setup

1. Modify variables immediately after imports to fit the desired device.
2. Add .jpg images into Images folder. Their username to check in will be in the format: "username.jpg"
3. Go to terminal.
   1. Navigate to this folder.
   2. Enter pip3 -r install requirements.txt
4. Run with python3 face-rec-v2.py
5. Modify any positioning and styling variables to look how you would like your device.
   1. Look for the "CHANGE_IF_NEEDED" in the file.

Version 1 (not recommended)

The camera feed runs and a blue box is placed around a recognized face. If the user desires to check in, they press a button. If they are not recognized properly, they have the option to take a photo and enter their username, which will then check them in. If a user enter someone else's username for their own face, the administrator can find out through looking at new pictures added.

Setup

1. Modify variables at top of face-rec
2. Add .jpg images into Images folder. Their username to check in will be in the format: "username.jpg"
3. Go to terminal.
   1. Navigate to this folder.
   2. Enter pip3 -r install requirements.txt
4. Run with python3 face-rec.py
5. Modify any positioning and styling variables to look how you would like your device.

Please let me know if there are any problems.
