An Intelligent Sensor based Automatic Attendance Management System Using IoT

Abstract

The need for intelligent and distributed monitoring systems based on sensor networks of diverse application systems is growing as a result of the field of industrial control in network applications developing so quickly. It is required to check the body temperatures and attendance when students and staffs visit schools and colleges during this COVID 19 pandemic. A solution is developed here for the purpose of tracking temperatures and attendance management using a smart thermometer without being in contact in order to keep social distance. The person (both staff and student) faces are captured by the ESP32 Camera for training and testing purposes. After the training is over, the ESP32 Micro Controller board registers the student or faculty facial image. For attendance purposes, the MLX90614 IR Temperature Sensor will measure the body temperature of students or instructors. Both the collected data and the email-based attendance notification will be transferred to the cloud using IoT. The message "Please leave the college and take care of your health" will be communicated to the person if their temperature exceeds the threshold level.
