Face Detection and Recognition is an important area in the field of substantiation. Maintenance of records of students along with monitoring of class attendance is an area of administration that requires significant amount of time and efforts for management. Automated Attendance Management System performs the daily activities of attendance analysis, for which face recognition is an important aspect. The prevalent techniques and methodologies for detecting and recognizing face are fail to overcome issues such as scaling, pose, illumination, variations, rotation, and occlusions. Our project provides features such as detection of faces, extraction of the features, detection of extracted features, analysis of students' attendance and monthly attendance report generation.The proposed system integrates techniques such as image contrasts, integral images, Ada-Boost, Haar-like features and cascading classifier for feature detection. Faces are recognized using ANN algorithm using the database that contains images of students and is used to recognize student using the captured image. Better accuracy is attained in results and the system takes into account the changes that occurs in the face over the period of time
