Abstract : The main objective of this paper is to provide a web-based tool for identifying faces in a real-time environment, such as Online Classes. Face recognition in real-time is now a fascinating field with an ever-increasing challenge such as light variations, occlusion, variation in facial expressions, etc. During the current pandemic scenario of COVID-19, the demand for online classrooms has rapidly increased. This has escalated the need for a real-time, economic, simple, and convenient way to track the attendance of the students in a live classroom. This paper addresses the aforementioned issue by proposing a real-time online attendance system. Two alternative face recognition algorithms are perceived in order to develop the tool for realtime face detection and recognition with improved accuracy. The algorithms adopted are Local Binary Pattern Histogram(LBPH) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for face recognition as well as Haar cascade classifier with boosting for face detection. Experimental results show that CNN with an accuracy of 95% is better in this context than LBPH that yields an accuracy of 78%.
