             intrusive nature, ease of use, and advancements in artificial
             intelligence  (AI).  Unlike  fingerprint  or  iris  scans,  face
             recognition allows for contactless and remote identification,
             reducing the risk of error or fraud.
             Despite  these  advantages,  there  are  concerns  related  to
             privacy,  data  security,  and  the  accuracy  of  recognition,
             particularly  in  dynamic  environments  like  a  classroom.
             FaceAttend  was  developed  to  tackle  these  issues  while
             automating attendance management.
             The FaceAttend System comprises the following hardware
             elements:
               High-definition  cameras  positioned  strategically  in
                classrooms or entry points.
               A server for data processing and storage.
               Optional  biometric  scanners  for  supplementary
                verification.
