The paper proposes a real-time attendance capturing system that uses a two-step authentication process and is based on the user’s location using GPS. The proposed system is implemented as an Android mobile application that communicates with the real-time location of the user and allows the user to mark attendance using the in- built camera of the smartphone. Once the attendance is marked, the application updates the database with the time stamp of the provisional attendance to keep a record of the time difference between provisional and final attendance. The proposed system does not require any auxiliary equipment except for a smartphone, which reduces the computation time and cost of placing redundant equipment. The two-step authentication process involves both location-based service and facial recognition to avoid proxy attendances.
