An application for tracking attendance

DojoAttender

This project was made for my final exam during my education as a Data Technician specialized in programming.

There was a need for a system being able to track members attendance at my local martial arts club. I came up with this project.

The system is able to:

• Register new members to the martial arts club
• Analyze said new members face encodings
• Record attencance for martial arts classes by facial recognition
• Generate Excel sheets with attendance data and export to USB

Hardware

• Raspberry Pi B 4GB
• Raspberry Pi 7" Touch Display
• Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2
• SmartiPi Touch 2 - Raspbery Pi Case

Software

I've used Debian (Buster) for this project.

Install the required python modules found in requirements.txt pip install -r requirements.txt

Automount USB

To be able to automount USB you need to install USBMount. As the version present in the Debian package manager is not working on this sytem, you need to download the newest version from the repo and install it from there.

Autorun on boot

To be able to autorun the application on startup, /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart has to be edited:

@xscreensaver
@/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/workspace/DojoAttender/src/main.py(Or path to wherever you saved main.py)

Disable cursor

To disable cursor add xserver-command=X -nocursor to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
