Face Recognition Attendance System

This is a Python script that uses the OpenCV and face_recognition libraries to create a simple face recognition attendance system. It captures images from a camera, recognizes faces, and logs attendance in a CSV file.

Prerequisites

Before running the code, you need to install the required Python libraries. You can install them using pip:

• pip install opencv-python
• pip install numpy
• pip install face-recognition

Usage

• Create a folder named 'Images' in the same directory as this script.
• Add images of the individuals you want to recognize in the 'Images' folder.
• The images should have only one face per image.
• Run the script.

How it works

• The script loads the known face encodings from the 'Images' folder.
• It captures video from the default camera.
• For each frame of video, it detects faces and encodes them.
• It compares the encodings of detected faces with the known face encodings.
• If a match is found, it records the name of the recognized person and the timestamp in the 'Attendance.csv' file.
• The video stream is displayed with rectangles around the recognized faces and their names.

File Structure

-- Images: Store images of individuals you want to recognize. -- Attendance.csv: Stores attendance records with name, time, and date.
