“…The voice-based attendance system developed by Dey et al [37] took more time as compared to the conventional method because students were asked with several questions to ensure that sufficient numbers of speech frames were obtained for verification. Other biometric-based methods [15,34,35,[38][39][40][41] took less than 10 seconds to take the attendance of one student. Another point to look at is on when the attendance is being recorded.…”

“…In order to solve this problem, attendance taking for more than one time was suggested. Normally, students' attendances were taken twice, which are at the beginning and at the end of a class with the entrance and exit time, respectively [40,47,48]. Besides that, continuous or periodic observation can be implemented by tracking facial images from video frames to mark students' attendance [27,[49][50][51][52].…”

“…In the speech-based attendance system [56], three spoken text templates are required each for the voice password (VP) and text-dependent (TD) modules. For the fingerprint-based attendance system, the templates vary from one [55], two [32,34,43,58], four [47] to ten [40]. With regard to the attendance system based on face recognition, the minimum number of templates is five [31] while the maximum value is 1000 [59].…”

“…In addition, the number of preregistered devices connected to the wireless signal can be determined to count the number of students in a class [81]. Furthermore, attendance information can be viewed on a web site [15,18,34,40,47,48,55,115] or received through email [47,55,97,100,116] or short message service (SMS) [47,48,55,115]. Wireless technology was chosen in most of the biometric attendance systems because of cost saving as there is no need to lay cables and install ports in each and every classroom as compared to a wired network that requires physical connection.…”

“…Typically, servers are used to store these data. Most of the servers were hosted on the computer workstation for easy access to attendance records and thus help in smoothing the attendance management [15,17,18,32,35,40,43,44,47,48,54,58,70,76,88,97,115]. Furthermore, a mobile internal database was also implemented whereby the user stored the attendance and course information on the server using mobile phones [100].…”

The application of biometric recognition in personal authentication enables the growth of this technology to be employed in various domains. The implementation of biometric recognition systems can be based on physical or behavioral characteristics, such as the iris, voice, fingerprint, and face. Currently, the attendance tracking system based on biometric recognition for education sectors is still underutilized, thus providing a good opportunity to carry out interesting research in this area. As evidenced in a typical classroom, educators tend to take the attendance of their students by using conventional methods such as by calling out names or signing off an attendance sheet. Yet, these types of methods are proved to be time consuming and tedious, and sometimes, fraud occurs. As a result, significant progress had been made to mark attendance automatically by making use of biometric recognition. This progress enables a new and more advanced biometric-based attendance system being developed over the past ten years. The setting-up of biometric-based attendance systems requires both software and hardware components. Since the software and hardware sections are too broad to be discussed in one paper, this literature survey only provides an overview of the types of hardware used. Emphasis is then placed on the microcontroller platform, biometric sensor, communication channel, database storage, and other components in order to assist future researchers in designing the hardware part of biometric-based attendance systems.
