Abstract—Nowadays, face identification has become one of the key research regions in computer technology.Due to this scientists share a keen interest in this area.In this paper,the authors have proposed an application of facial recognition in attendance marking system.Doing the task manually is a tedious one for the attendance marking system when there is a huge classroomwithmore number of students which is time-consuming. Using this facial recognition system avoids the issue of dummy attendance is possible,proxies and save time.In previous facial recognition attendance systems, there were some drawbacks such as intensity of light,head pose etc.The main research of this paper is to overcome those problems and provide the most accurate attendance marking system.Detection of the student and marking the student attendance while entering the school room is automatically made with this system.This paper defines the prototype of the device and the algorithms used at each level. Algorithms such as Viola-Jones for face detection, PCA for feature selection and SVM for classification have been used.The proposed method gives an efficient way to control the attendance and records of students to that of traditional attendance marking system
