Class Attendance App

Project Overview

This project involves the development of a student attendance management system for iOS devices. The system leverages the FaceNet facial recognition model and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to ensure efficient, secure, and reliable attendance tracking.

Features

• Facial Recognition: Utilizes the FaceNet model for accurate facial identification.
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE): Ensures students are within close proximity to the teacher's device for attendance check-in.
• iOS Application: User-friendly app for both students and teachers to manage attendance.
• Admin Web Interface: Web platform for admin to manage classes, users, and approve face registration requests.

Key Technologies

• FaceNet: Facial recognition model developed by Google.
• BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy): Ensures proximity between devices for attendance check-in.
• Firebase: Backend services for real-time database, authentication, and storage.
• iOS Development: UIKit, Swift.
• Machine Learning: Pre-trained model for facial recognition.

Key Achievements

• High Accuracy: The system identifies students with approximately 95% accuracy.
• Fast Processing: Attendance check-in takes around 0.25 seconds per student.
• Flexible Check-In: Students can check in via their own devices, increasing convenience and reducing the need for a fixed check-in device.

How to Use

1. Register: Students and teachers need to register and get approval for their facial data.
2. Check-In: Students can check in to their classes by simply being in close proximity to the teacher's device and having their face recognized by the app.

Setup and Installation

Prerequisites

• Xcode: Version 11 or later.
• Swift: Version 5.1 or later.
• Cocoapods: To manage dependencies.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/class-attendance-app.git
   cd class-attendance-app

2. Install dependencies:

   pod install

3. Open the project in Xcode:

   open ClassAttendanceApp.xcworkspace

4. Build and run the project: Select your target device or simulator and press Cmd + R to build and run the project.

Usage

1. Register and Login:

   • Open the app and register as a student or teacher.
   • Admin will approve the registration request.

2. Face Registration:

   • Take a clear picture of your face for recognition.
   • Admin will approve the face registration.

3. Attendance Check-In:

   • Open the app and ensure you are close to the teacher’s device.
   • The app will automatically recognize your face and mark your attendance.
