This project automatically marks student attendance using QR code ID cards. Students scan their ID cards via a webcam, and the system records them as present. It generates a digital attendance report, saving time and reducing manual errors.
Manual attendance in classrooms is time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to errors, especially for large classes. Teachers often spend several minutes per student, and mistakes like marking the wrong student present or absent can occur. There is a need for a fast, accurate, and automated attendance system that reduces human effort and ensures reliable record-keepin
[How are you solving it?]
—We solve this problem by using QR code ID cards and a scanner system. Students scan their ID cards via a webcam, the system automatically verifies their ID and marks them present. At the end, it generates a digital attendance report, saving time, reducing errors, and making attendance management efficient and accurate.
