Implementation of Fingerprint Attendance System using Matlab

A fingerprint attendance system is a device which can take attendance of people. The fingerprint attendance system is very relevant at any place since it aims at eliminating all the hassles of roll calling and malpractice and promises a full-proof as well as reliable technique of keeping records of any individual’s attendance. In the proposed system, we are using MATLAB software to compare the fingerprints of the people, whose fingerprints are already taken and stored in database. After the comparison is done, an Excel sheet is generated and the attendance of that particular person is updated, also, the result of updation is transmitted through serial port and is shown on the LCD. This sheet can be used for various purposes such as salary calculation, checking entry and exit time etc. The main advantage of using this proposed system is we can have infinite number of entries as the databases are compared and stored in a computer.
