Nikolovski Dimitrov Aleksandar
Software testing has become increasingly crucial in the IT industry, leading companies to invest significant time, effort, and resources in this field. The reporting of test results and the achievement of high success rates are essential for the acceptance of many applications, particularly in industries where failure tolerance is minimal. Consequently, companies employ a combination of manual and automated testing approaches using various software testing tools and frameworks to meet their specific testing needs. However, existing tools and frameworks often lack comprehensive features, necessitating the development of customized solutions by combining multiple frameworks at considerable costs. This research aims to...
FACIAL RECOGNITION GATE SYSTEM: A NOVEL APPROACH TO ATTENDANCE TRACKING AND ACCESS CONTROL
Emeka U
Effective attendance monitoring is essential for the smooth running of any organization. Manual methods of attendance monitoring are time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to poor staff attendance and adverse impacts on the organization. Automated methods have been introduced, ranging from paper-based systems to biometric identification using fingerprints, face, and voice. This paper proposes an electronic gate system that can control access and monitor staff attendance using facial recognition technology to address the issues of other identification methods. The system identifies staff members by recognizing their faces from a camera mounted at an access point and interfaces with a database...
