%0 Journal Article %T An Efficient Automatic Attendance System using Fingerprint Verification Technique %A Chitresh Saraswat %A Amit Kumar %J International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering %D 2010 %I Engg Journals Publications %X The main aim of this paper is to develop an accurate, fast and very efficient automatic attendance system using fingerprint verification technique. We propose a system in which fingerprint verification is done by using extraction of minutiae technique and the system that automates the whole process of taking attendance, Manually which is a laborious and troublesome work and waste a lot of time, with its managing and maintaining the records for a period of time is also a burdensome task. For this purpose we use fingerprint verification system using extraction of minutiae techniques. The experimental result shows that our proposed system is highly efficient in verification of user fingerprint . %K fingerprint verification %K image processing %K minutiae matching %K segmentation %U http://www.enggjournals.com/ijcse/doc/IJCSE10-02-02-28.pdf
