Face Recognition Based on Pre-Trained Convolutional Neural Network and Machine Learning for Attendance Automation

Field of Invention:
The present invention relates to system and method for an automatic attendance using Python and face Recognition.

Background of the Invention.
The following background discussion includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication expressly or implicitly referenced is prior art.
The Attendance Automation using Face Recognition has gained significant attention due to its potential to streamline and amplify traditional systems of attendance. The system uses computer vision techniques to analyze and identify individuals based on their facial features, hence, providing a seamless and contactless method for recording attendance.

The motivation behind pursuing an automatic attendance system, specifically using Face Recognition arises from the inherent limitations and challenges associated with the conventional methods. Traditional manual attendance processes are time-consuming, prone to errors, and lack the real-time monitoring capabilities which are essential for modern organizational needs. The implementation of a facial recognition-based system addresses these shortcomings by offering a swift, accurate, and flawless means of attendance tracking.

The entire recognition system revolves around developing a robust attendance tracking system using machine learning technology. Existing manual and even various biometric methods for recording attendance are significantly inefficient. For instance, Fingerprint Recognition is vulnerable to spoofing, faces difficulty with unclear fingerprint and possesses privacy concerns. Iris Recognition is invasive and requires close alignment. Not only are false rejections always a possibility, but also it is expensive and complex. Voice Recognition method is vulnerable to mimicry, and it is significantly affected by background noise. Changes in voice may as well impact accuracy. Hand Geometry and Retina Scanning shares the same case of being invasive, high cost and complexity, limited discriminatory power and possibility for false rejections.
The present invention aims to overcome these challenges by employing ML-based facial recognition algorithms. The objective is to design a solution that provides reliable, real-time, and contactless attendance tracking. The system should be user-friendly inexpensive and adaptable to different environments according to the evolving needs.

Any embodiment or implementation of the present subject matter described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.
While the disclosure is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiment thereof has been shown by way of example, in the drawings and will be described in detail below. It should be understood, however, that it is not intended to limit the disclosure to the specific forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternative falling within the spirit and the scope of the disclosure.
The terms "comprises", "comprising", "includes", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a setup, device or method that comprises a list of components or steps does not include only those components or steps but may include other components or steps not expressly listed or inherent to such setup or device or method. In other words, one or more elements in a system or apparatus proceeded by "comprises... a" does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of other elements or additional elements in the system or method.
In an embodiment, the system of the present invention uses the following Algorithmic Approach:
1. Initialize Video Capture: Set up the video capture from the default camera with a specified resolution.
2. cv2 (OpenCV): OpenCV, a widely used computer vision library, serves the purpose of capturing video from the camera, image processing, and drawing rectangles and text on video frames.
2. Load Known Faces and Encodings: Load pre-existing images of known individuals and extract their face encodings using the Face Recognition library.
3. Initialize CSV File for Attendance Logging: Open a CSV file for writing attendance information, including the name and timestamp.
4. Start Separate Thread for Video Processing: Begin a separate thread to continuously process video frames for Face Recognition without blocking the main program.
5. Process Video Frames in a Loop: A frame is captured from the video feed and further resized to improve processing speed. Face locations are detected in the frame using the face_recognition library. The Face encodings are further extracted from the detected faces. The detected face encodings are compared with the known face encodings in order to find a match. If a match is found and the person is identified, their presence is marked and eventually the list of present individuals is updated in the CSV file.
6. Terminate the Program: Stop video capture and close all windows when the user presses 'q' in the video window. This algorithm utilizes Face Recognition techniques, threading for parallel processing, and CSV file handling to create a real-time attendance system based on recognized faces.
In researching and deploying CNN-based face recognition in the present invention , several key contributions have been made, including:
Development of novel CNN architectures specifically tailored for face recognition tasks, to effectively learn discriminative features from facial images, leading to improved recognition accuracy.
Implementation of data augmentation techniques to enhance the robustness of CNN-based face recognition models.
Integration of metric learning techniques into CNN architectures where faces of the same identity are clustered closer together while faces of different identities are separated.
Investigation of domain adaptation methods to improve the performance of CNN-based face recognition models when faced with domain shifts or differences between training and testing data distributions. Techniques such as adversarial training, domain adversarial neural networks (DANN), and self-training have been explored to address this challenge.

In the present invention, the LFW Database (Labeled Faces in The Wild) to implement the automation system and conduct the recognition of individuals under real-world conditions. LFW consists of more than 13,000 labeled images of faces, spanning a wide range of variations, such as pose, lighting, expression, age, and background. Due to its diverse nature, LFW poses challenges for Face Recognition algorithms, especially those designed for unconstrained environments. These factors and expressions make it a robust and standard benchmark in the field. We represented a few sample images from LFW dataset in Fig. 1.
Attendance Automation is a system that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for attendance tracking processes. This methodology unifies various components and incudes various steps which are as follows:
Data Collection and Data Preparation
Face Detection
Feature Selection
Model Training and Evaluation
Deployment
Real Time Face Recognition
Post Processing and Logging
The present invention is utilizing the face recognition library, which internally employs a pre-trained CNN for face encoding which is a deep learning model for image-related tasks. It consists of convolutional layers that learn hierarchical features from input images. The Face Recognition process involves encoding each face image into a numerical representation using the CNN. These embeddings, capture distinctive features of each face, enabling accurate comparison between faces. The comparison is performed using a distance metric, typically Euclidean distance, or a similar measure, to determine the similarity between face encodings. Based on the computed distances, the system makes decisions about whether a given face in a video frame matches any of the known faces in the dataset. A threshold is set to determine when a match is considered valid. If the distance is below the threshold, the faces are considered a match. In mathematical terms, if (E1) and (E2) represent the face encodings of two faces, the distance metric (D) can be calculated using Euclidean distance:
D=v(?_(i=1)^n¦(E_1i-E_2i )^2 ) (1)
where (n) is the dimensionality of the face encoding.
All the various features and libraries of artificial intelligence and machine learning that are utilized for the recognition system are:
