# 📸 Face Recognition Based Student Attendance System Using ML
An AI-powered attendance system that uses face recognition to automatically mark students' attendance. Built with Python and Machine Learning, the system integrates face detection, encoding, and classification models to log attendance securely and efficiently.
---
## 🧠 Technologies Used
- Python
- OpenCV
- TensorFlow / Keras
- MTCNN for face detection
- FaceNet for face embeddings
- Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification
- Tkinter (GUI)
- Firebase (optional)
- Pandas, NumPy
---
## 🚀 Features
- 🎯 Real-time face detection and recognition
- 🧑🎓 Auto-attendance logging with name and timestamp
- 📁 Dataset creation and embedding generation
- 🗃️ Secure model training and classification using SVM
- 📤 Export attendance logs to Excel
- 🖥️ GUI interface using Tkinter

## ⚙️ Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/xHarshit/Face-Recognition-Based-Student-Attendance-System-Using-ML.git
cd Face-Recognition-Based-Student-Attendance-System-Using-ML
```
2. Install the dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. Run the GUI application:

2. Face Recognition
3. Attendance Logging
---
## 🧪 How It Works
1. Use generateDataset.py to capture images of each student.
2. Train the classifier using train_v2.py.
3. Launch the GUI with homepage.py.
4. Recognizer detects faces from webcam and marks attendance in Excel.
