Abstract:
In recent years, numbers of biometric technologies are used for various fields, especially
for authentication purposes. But still we use manual attendance management in university
system as a traditional way. The traditional system suffers from many drawbacks in past
years. The academics and administration face several complex situations with lecture,
examination management and scholarship due to the fraudulent activities of the student
during their undergraduate period. This leads the system with many difficulties when
managing the students’ attendance. This paper presents a review on the currently existing
biometric based authentication techniques with the aim of finding a better, simple and
suitable approach with highest performance for student attendance management in
university system. From the overall analysis, patterns from the fingerprints are selected as
suitable and minutia based finger print matching technique is used for the proposed
verification system, in which the unique features called minutiae point have been extracted
using the crossing number (CN) method. The system has implemented using MATLAB
environment.
