Tamil Nadu schools to have facial recognition based attendance system

Tamil Nadu government has launched an attendance system for the schools that is powered by the artificial intelligence and soon attendance on registers will be a thing of past in Tamil Nadu. As of now, the government has launched the face reading based attendance system in a government high school for girls. Soon, the system will be implemented in all the schools in the rest of the state. School Education Minister K A Sengottaiyan said that it is a first time in the country that such an attendance system has been introduced in the schools that was vogue in nations like USA and Japan. "The newly launched Artificial Intelligence-enabled attendance system through face reading is being implemented for the first time in India," he told reporters here. According to the details, the facial recognition-based attendance will be done with the help of an application that will have photos of students and other relevant details of the students stored in the database. The teacher will click the picture of the students in a group and the app will automatically recognize the students that are present in the class and will store the details in the server.
