1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Fingerprints are the fastest and secure method for biometric identification, unique to each
person and consistent throughout a lifetime. A fingerprint recognition system, utilizing an
Arduino UNO, automates classroom attendance, eliminating time-consuming manual methods.
Traditional attendance checking, particularly in large classes, is inefficient and prone to errors
(Rahman, 2018). The Arduino-based system ensures accurate records, detecting bogus
attendance and preventing cheating. Teachers, equipped with printed lists, often face
challenges managing attendance. Fingerprint-based attendance, using an Atmel AVR
ATMega328 microcontroller chip and a Micro SD Card for storage, offers a reliable solution.
The system captures fingerprint patterns, processes them into biometric templates, and records
attendance directly to the Micro SD Card (Vargas et al., 2019). The Arduino's benefits,
including ready-made modules and USB communication capabilities, make it a suitable
platform (Santoso and Sari, 2019). The proposed Fingerprint Classroom Attendance project
reduces teachers' and monitors' obligations, providing an exact time of student arrival and
minimizing the risk of manipulation. The system is designed for offline functionality, making
it applicable to schools in rural areas without internet connectivity.
1.2 Objectives of the Study
The researchers aim to assess the effectiveness and quality of Fingerprint Based Classroom
Attendance System Using Arduino UNO Microcontroller. Specifically, the study aims to:
1. Determine the materials needed to create a good quality of a working prototype;
2. Complete the codes for the automated fingerprint;
3. Assemble the components of Arduino UNO;
4. Design a schematic diagram of the prototype;
5. Create a working prototype of Fingerprint Classroom Attendance; and
6. Assess the effectiveness and quality of Arduino Uno in terms of Fingerprint sensor testing.
1.3 Significance of the Study

2. RELATED WORKS
Development of Attendance Management System Using Biometrics
Keeping track of an institution's student attendance data is a tedious task. It consumes both time
and paper. The author designed an attendance board architecture that is already operational to
automate
and
digitize
all attendance-related tasks. It makes use of a special finger imprint
differentiating framework that was developed for this objective. This framework for unique
mark ID makes use of both new and current unique mark recognition and arrangement (Patra,
G. & Mohanty, M.N., 2020)
Attendance Fingerprint Identification System Using Arduino and Single Board
Computer
One of the most distinctive features of the human body that quickly and easily sets one
individual apart from another is the fingerprint. A technology known as fingerprint sensors,
which can automatically identify or recognize a person, supports this uniqueness.
However, the current fingerprint sensor is limited to identifying fingerprints on a single device.

For the previously stated reason, we require a technique to identify every user in a unique
fingerprint sensor. The goal of this project is to develop a fingerprint sensor system that will
enable centralized fingerprint data administration and enable fingerprint recognition on each
fingerprint sensor. The study's findings demonstrate that data processing. may be consolidated
using Arduino and Raspberry Pi, enabling fingerprint identification in each fingerprint sensor
with a 98.5% success rate for centralized server recording (M A Muchtar, 2018).
Fingerprint Based Biometric Student Attendance System
Attendance is a notion that is used to identify a person's presence at the beginning and end of
the day in a variety of settings, including hospitals, institutions, and organizations. In the past
and in many locations even today, names are called out in attendance registers to manually
record attendance. Time and human labor are wasted because of this. Also, using a register
leads to a lot of bogus difficulties. For instance, in a classroom, the teacher calls out each
student's name sequentially and indicates their attendance after they respond.
An alternative method is for the instructor to circulate the attendance sheet throughout the
classroom with the students signing it next to their names. Nevertheless, a significant
disadvantage of these approaches is that students often respond or sign on behalf of their absent
friends. If the strength of the class is great, these fraudulent issues might occur more frequently.
Using an automated attendance recording system is one way to get around these issues. This
research provides a fingerprint-based biometric system that automatically logs attendance in
this direction.
A fingerprint sensor is part of this system, which is utilized to identify the user (Sogbodjor,
2021). The researchers used an embedded fingerprint-based management system utilizing the
microcontroller-based system (EMFIBAMS) design. The system includes a fingerprint sensor,
a GSM modem, an Arduino board, LCD, and other devices. During the comparison of this
system and the manual method, the result shows that the average time taken per student using
an embedded fingerprint-based attendance management system using microcontroller is much
shorter than that of manual checking (Ikuomola, 2019).
The system addressed the problems associated with traditional attendance systems because
provides faster and more accurate results the percentage of students who attend and the number
of lectures delivered by a single lecturer, an effective means of registering students and
managing their attendance that eliminates attendance-related issues like friend signing, loss of
attendance sheet, and it will be easier to manage the percentage of students and teachers who
skip lectures (Sambo et al., 2018).
The Use of Biometric Attendance Recording System (BARS) and it’s Impact on the Work
Performance of Cabanatuan City Government Employees
Biometric technology as a means of identifying and verifying an individual’s characteristic is
widely used in many aspects of peoples’ lives nowadays. In this regard, the Local Government
Unit (LGU) uses this technology to provide a more comprehensive system for monitoring
employee attendance and how it may affect their performance. The study assesses the impact
of the use of the Biometric Attendance Recording System (BARS) on the work performance of
Local Government Unit (LGU) employees based on their Individual Performance Commitment
Review (IPCR) rating and the respondents’ self-assessment and perception. Noticeably, most of the

respondents perceived that the use of BARS had a positive impact on work performance. Results
also demonstrated a significant increase in respondents’ level of performance (Gladys V. et al.,
2018)
Enhanced Attendance Monitoring System Using Biometric Fingerprint Recognition
In this study, an improved system for tracking and monitoring staff attendance at Callang National
High School, District 04, San Manuel, Isabela, was implemented. It used biometric fingerprint
recognition. Managing people is a difficult task for most firms, and keeping an accurate record of
attendance is crucial. Regularly taking and keeping track of an employee's attendance by hand is a
labor-intensive task that takes time. A useful system was created as a result. The main goal of the
system's design and development was to leverage biometric technologies to manage employees'
better leave and attendance records. It manages leave administration, keeps tabs on staff attendance,
logs employee data, and uses fingerprint recognition to promote involvement. The system has a
dashboard monitoring system that school directors can examine to keep track of the list of staff
members, early birds (staff members that arrived early), staff members on leave, official business,
and a statistical graph of the staff members' monthly attendance rate.
Additionally, staff can save time using the system's auto generated DTR instead of the manual
method. Automated leave management, attendance monitoring, and system-generated reports are
some of the ways in which innovation significantly impacts the enhancement of employee
attendance. Using the first quarter attendance report of SY 2028-2019 as a base of comparison with
the attendance rate of SY 2019-2020, when the system was installed, the influence of EAMS on the
employees was determined. The result demonstrates that staff attendance has increased because of
system use (Rivera, 2021).
Utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks for Fingerprint-Based Attendance Monitoring
Paper-based attendance sheets are a classic way of taking attendance that is prone to fraud,
theft, and impersonation. Automatic attendance systems that use biometrics, touch screens,
barcode badges, electronic tags, magnetic stripe cards, and other forms of identifying
technologies have been put in place to address this problem. Biometric technology uses
physiological or behavioral traits to identify a person. However, conventional biometric
systems have drawbacks like being easily damaged or changing over time, and variations in
lighting, occlusions, poses, and facial expressions can all have an impact on the accuracy of
face recognition. To ascertain if two imprints of the friction ridges on human fingers or toes
belong to the same person, fingerprint identification relies on the uniqueness of fingerprints.
Fingerprints can be divided into five main categories: whorl, left loop, right loop, tented arch,
and arch.
Numerous methods have been created to identify fingerprints by minutiae-based matching,
which entails locating important characteristics such as bifurcation and ridge termination.
Convolutional neural networks are deep learning algorithms that have been successful in
increasing recognition accuracy by automatically extracting information from fingerprint
photos. The importance of protecting personal information has grown recently, and the
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) identification method is advised for enhancing
performance and accuracy.

In this paper, a three-model fingerprint identification system based on CNN, Softmax, and
Random Forest (RF) classifiers is proposed. The traditional method extracts features using
CNNs and a dropout technique after separating the foreground and background regions using
the K-means and DBSCAN algorithms. In a sense, Softmax is a recognizer. Using a public
database, the suggested algorithm is tested and yields encouraging results, offering a reliable
and effective biometric identification method (Saul et.al, 2023).

Instrumentation
Using an Arduino Uno with a fingerprint sensor, breadboard, power supply, buzzer, and LED
is essential for a successful Fingerprint-Based Classroom Attendance System. This system
streamlines attendance tracking, demonstrating how the system can be practically applied in
education. Combining the Arduino Uno and fingerprint sensor swiftly identifies fingerprints
for accurate attendance. The LED and buzzer give instant feedback when a fingerprint is
recognized, making the system user-friendly.
4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The following data shows the results and discussions of the research. The effects can be
observed from the conclusions of related literature and will serve as great advantages for future
research studies.
Results
Fingerprint-Based System
The fingerprint-based system stores student fingerprints in a geared sensor module before using
a dual-process methodology to generate file outputs. This module, which is programmed with
an Arduino Uno microcontroller, includes coded commands that set population limits for the
fingerprint system. These boundaries, established by the programmed authorities, stop
fraudulent scanning attempts beyond the specified student demographic. The highest possible
student count is dynamically determined by incorporating unique codes that tell the system to
ignore fingerprint scans larger than the predetermined population.
The second part of this two-way process involves gathering attendance information and
carefully storing it in the SD card module along with exact timestamps that indicate the precise
moment each student arrived. In particular, the recorded results from several tests demonstrate
that the fingerprint system has a time duration collection feature:

Additionally, the buzzers of the fingerprint setup contain four (4) buzzers with personal
functions connected to the Arduino Uno. The two buzzers on the left side are the fingerprint
registration/back with the delete/ok option for mistake registration.
Fingerprints must be scanned and stored to avoid conflicts once used for the final testing. The
fingerprints that are successfully registered in the buzzer are the fingerprints that can be
recognized only by the sensor module and shall directly ignore those fraud-scanned
fingerprints. The two buzzers on the right-side work as the direction and instructions of the
system once it's used.
Discussions
Wired Fingerprint Prototype Testing
Two key findings highlighted the effectiveness and quality of the fingerprint sensor during the
intensive trial-and-error testing phase of the Fingerprint-Based Classroom Attendance
prototype. Interestingly, a quick message is sent to the Arduino receiver before the recognition
process starts when a student's fingerprint contacts the sensor [1]. The system's overall
effectiveness is increased by this ordered approach, which gives it an extra layer of
responsiveness. During the rigorous trial-and-error testing phase of the Fingerprint-Based
Classroom Attendance prototype, two critical findings demonstrated the quality and efficacy
of the fingerprint sensor. Interestingly, when a student's fingerprint touches the sensor, a brief
message is sent to the Arduino receiver before the recognition process begins [1]. This
systematic approach adds an extra layer of responsiveness to the system and increases its
effectiveness.
The researchers believed the primary duty was to assess the wireless fingerprint-based
classroom attendance system early in the careful testing procedure. Their active participation
guaranteed the developed prototype's functional dependability and safety. The researchers
ensured they fully understood the fingerprint sensor's capabilities by closely monitoring and
assessing every detail of its operation during this phase. Excellent results were obtained from
the fingerprint sensor during capability and capacity testing. It demonstrated a strong ability to
recognize and authenticate registered fingerprints, highlighting its dependability in a classroom
setting. This accuracy in identifying fingerprints that have been registered adds a great deal to
the system's overall reliability and strengthens its suitability for efficient attendance
management.

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the Biometric Attendance System (BAS) of Cebu Technological University-Tuburan Campus during the calendar year 2018 as basis for a proposed system improvement. This study used the quantitative research employing descriptive method that assessed the performance of the Biometric Attendance System as to timeliness, accuracy, graphical user-interface and system maintenance. The study was conducted at Cebu Technological University-Tuburan Campus, Tuburan, Cebu. There were 96 teaching staff and 48 non-teaching personnel who were chosen randomly to evaluate the performance of the Biometric Attendance System. Weighted mean was used to analyze and interpret the data. This study revealed the following findings: the BAS has six (6) features which are touch-screen user interface (TUI), system setup, administrators, finger registration, clock configuration and DTR pint menu. The overall performance of the biometric system was very satisfactory in terms of timeliness, accuracy, and graphical-user interface. Hence, biometric system has always ensured employees' timeliness, provided accurate employee attendance record, and accommodated well the employees in their daily use of the biometric. Thus, it utilized a corrective form of maintenance only for emergency cases or is done after the problem occurred such as system reboot for downtime related issues and database backup. Lastly, "employees forget to log in/out" is found out to be the number one (1) problem in the daily use of biometric system. Formulation of a proposed system improvement on the lapses of the performance of the current biometric attendance system is the output of this study.

Attendance is one of the major factors for measuring eligibility, punctuality and commitment to the institution. To keep and manage the attendance records efficiently is very important for the assessment of students and employees. In today's world, paper based attendance marking system is used in educational institutes where the teacher calls out students roll numbers. This is a manual process which is prone to many human errors and very time consuming for the both students as well as teachers during conducting the classes. Similarly, the management of staff's attendance record daily and generating monthly/ annual report using manual computational process has become a difficult challenge. For the stated reasons, an efficient Web-based application is designed to track student's activity in each class and also monitor the check-in and check-out time of each employee through fingerprint verification. This system consists of several modules: student's attendance monitoring and management system, class routine management system, student's information management system, employee's attendance and leave management system, and employee's information management system. The developed dynamic database stores the necessary data and information of each students and employees. This application takes employee's attendance using fingerprint scanning devices and also takes student's attendance of each courses of a specific department electronically, the records of the attendance are storing in the database. The system is implemented using the power of Laravel Framework, JavaScript is added to the application to improve the use of the system, and MySQL is used for the application database. Hardware level programming is performed to interface the fingerprint devices with our application. Insertions, deletions, and changes of data in the system can do straightforward via the designed GUI without interacting with the tables. This system is able to save valuable time of students as well as teachers for conducting the classes also save time to monitor check-in time, check-out time, working hour, and absent days of each employee. As a result, we can perform attendance management and monitoring related tasks like automated course-wise daily attendance report generation, automated course-wise semester attendance report generation, attendance report of a specific student, dynamic class routine preparation, daily/ weekly/ monthly/ half-yearly/ annual attendance and leave report generation of each employee etc. accurately and efficiently without any hassle. The test case of the system exposed that the system is working efficiently and is ready to use for the university or any similar academic institutions.

Our project aims at design of finger recognition attendance system which could effectively manage the attendance of the students at institutes like Galgotias University. The attendance is marked after the student provides their biometric identification to the system and for that we are using a fingerprint recognition-based identification system which then identifies the student from a set of enrolled fingerprints. As fingerprint recognition feature is considered as the fastest and the best method for biometric identification save the time for wasting to call the student name and mark the attendance. It also gives a foolproof method as every person has their own unique fingerprints and it does not change in one's lifetime. In this project a minutiae algorithm is being used for developing an identification system which is faster in implementation. The proposed system has been implemented using Java/Python Programming platforms. In the past, there has been a high level of imitation that you simply encounter a day secretly and within the publicized space, ghost employee problem has been a threat to almost every organisation, workers are worried about the extent of unemployment among employees and therefore the difficulty of supervising a student is present during the study. Fingerprints are a singular biometric authentication and don't change throughout one's life.

In this study, an enhanced attendance monitoring system using biometric fingerprint recognition in tracking and monitoring employees’ attendances for Callang National High School, District 04, San Manuel, Isabela was introduced. For most organizations, handling people is a daunting job in which it is very important to maintain an accurate record of attendance. Taking and maintaining the attendance of employee manually on a regular basis is a big activity that requires time. For this reason an effective system was designed. The system was designed and developed primarily to improve the monitoring of employees attendances and leave management through the use of biometric technology. It records the data of the employees, handles leave management, tracks employee attendance and encourages participation through fingerprint recognition. The system is equipped with a dashboard monitoring system that can be viewed by school heads to track the list of employees, early birds (employees who arrived early), on-leave staff, on-official business and a statistical graph of the monthly attendance rate of employees. Moreover, the system provides an auto-generated DTR for employees which saved time compared to the manual process. The innovation greatly affects the improvement of employees’ attendance through its automated attendance monitoring, leave management and report generated by the system. The impact of EAMS to the employees was identified through first quarter attendance report of SY 2028-2019 which served as a bases of comparison with the attendance rate of SY 2019-2020 when the system was implemented. The outcome shows that through the usage of the system, employees’ attendance has improved.

Recording students’ attendance has been a major concern at Kolej Universiti Poly-Tech Mara. However, monitoring the attendance manually is a cumbersome issue to lecturers as students tend to manipulate the attendance by signing each other’s attendance. It has been found that fingerprint biometrics is capable to monitor the attendance systematically and efficiently. The aim of this study is to verify the students’ attendance using fingerprint biometrics. Evolutionary prototyping model were used to develop the students’ attendance system. Students are required to thumbprint using the fingerprint device installed in the classroom to record the students’ attendance. Their fingerprint images were captured by the fingerprint device and the images were then registered to the server for attendance process. The implementation of fingerprint biometric has helped lecturers to monitor the attendance of the students more systematic, efficient and ethically. By using the system embedded with biometrics, reporting on absenteeism is genuine and easy. Lecturers just need to print out and do necessary action. Therefore, fingerprint biometrics is useful and helpful in keeping track and managing the attendance of the students.

Taking students attendance in higher institutions using the paper based method is a difficult task especially when the number of students are much. In view of this, an embedded fingerprint based attendance system has become inexpedient to make the job easier and efficient. Attendance management system was developed using Arduino 1.8.7 IDE, C# programming language, PHP Scripting, MySQL database and SFGDemo software, and was tested using electronic fingerprint scanner which was connected to a computer system for verifying student identity. The fingerprint of the students of Ondo State University of Science and Technology Okitipupa, Nigeria were captured during the 2017/2018 academic session. The system comprises of five different modules which includes the fingerprint capture, fingerprint processing (enrollment or authentication), pattern matching, microcontroller, GSM modem and database. The fingerprint method uses distinct finger features to identify individuals. When this system was compared with the manual method, the result shows that the average time taken per student using an embedded fingerprint-based attendance management system using microcontroller and manual attendance register were 6.57 and 19.17 seconds respectively. The embedded fingerprint based system proved to be more efficient, secure and durable when compared to the manual paper based method.

The traditional method of taking attendance using paper sheets is prone to errors like impersonation, loss, or theft. To solve this issue, automatic attendance systems utilizing identification technology such as barcode badges, electronic tags, touch screens, magnetic stripe cards, and biometrics have been implemented. Biometric technology uses physiological or behavioral characteristics for identification purposes, but traditional biometric systems have limitations such as vulnerability to damage or alteration over time, and variations in occlusions, poses, facial expressions, and illumination can affect face recognition accuracy. Fingerprint identification relies on the distinctiveness of fingerprints and involves comparing two impressions of the friction ridges on human fingers or toes to determine if they belong to the same individual. There are five primary categories of fingerprints: arch, tented arch, left loop, right loop, and whorl. Various algorithms have been developed to recognize fingerprints using minutiaebased matching, which involves identifying key features like ridge ending and bifurcation. Deep learning algorithms, particularly convolutional neural networks, have been successful in improving identification accuracy by extracting features automatically from fingerprint images. In recent times, securing personal data has become increasingly important, and the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) identification system is recommended for improving accuracy and performance. This paper proposes a fingerprint identification system that combines three models: CNN, Softmax, and Random Forest (RF) classifiers. The conventional system uses K-means and DBSCAN algorithms to separate the foreground and background regions and extracts features using CNNs and dropout approach. The Softmax acts as a recognizer. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on a public database and shows promising results, providing an accurate and efficient biometric identification system.
