This document describes a smart mirror attendance system using facial recognition:
1. The system uses a Raspberry Pi connected to a camera and smart mirror to capture student photos and compare them to a database to automate attendance marking.
2. It aims to make attendance taking more efficient than manual paper-based systems by reducing time spent and potential for errors.
3. The system works by detecting faces from live video, extracting features to compare against stored student photos, and recording attendance matches in a database.
