Abstract

The aim of this project is to develop a portable attendance monitoring system based on fingerprint identification that can be used by lecturers to monitor attendance of students. Among all the biometric or security techniques, fingerprint-based identification is the oldest method which has been successfully used in numerous applications. Everyone is known to have unique, immutable fingerprints. A fingerprint is made of a series of ridges and furrows on the surface of the finger. The uniqueness of a fingerprint can be determined by the pattern of ridges and furrows as well as the minutiae points.Minutiae points are local ridge characteristics that occur at either a ridge bifurcation or a ridge ending. This project will utilize portable fingerprint scanner as the input to acquire fingerprint images and a notebook personal computer equipped with attendance recording and monitoring software as a mobile terminal to process the fingerprint images and record the attendance. This system can be used by lecturers to replace the old method of attendance recording, so that the integrity of the attendance record can be upheld. The actual student's attendance can be recorded and stored in database. The system will also be capable of processing the record to determine students who do not fulfill the attendance percentage requirement.
