UTFACE: uma API RESTful para gerenciamento de presença com reconhecimento facial

Abstract

The activity of making call attendance at class or events is always a task that takes time and trust from who is making the control and also from who is answering the calling, having in mind that can happen mistakes from both sides. Also can be frauds in case someone is not present and someone else answers or signs for her. As a solution, the presence control could be made with facial recognition technologies. Thinking about that, a system that could capture an image from the people on surroundings and identify beings would solve the problems already mentioned before, avoiding beings to receive fault and missing ones receive presence. Nowadays exist plenty of open-source facial recognition algorithms that could be used and incorporated and adjusted for an application that would be useful for university day-a-day. For an efficient system, it’s necessary a RESTful API implementation that eventually could integrate the system with facial recognition and application for fuction management on an entire application. With the development of this API, it is intended to start a project witch would bring technological innovation for Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná – UTFPR and realize improvements and updates on methods, tasks, and activities that have been realized inside the university.
