Abstract Attendance management in educational institutions is a critical administrative function that is traditionally prone to errors, time inefficiency, and proxy fraud. This paper proposes an Adaptive Local Binary Pattern Histogram (LBPH) framework for a real-time, face-based attendance management system. Unlike conventional single-model LBPH approaches, the proposed system trains three LBPH classifiers using distinct radius configurations (radius = 1, 2, 3) to
enable multi-scale facial feature extraction. An ensemble-based decision mechanism combining majority voting and average confidence scoring is applied to the outputs of all three models. A threshold-based filter (confidence ≤ 110)
guards against false acceptance of unknown faces, while a frame-based stability validator requires the same identity to be confirmed across three consecutive webcam frames before attendance is recorded. The system is built on Python,
OpenCV, Tkinter, and MySQL, and operates entirely on standard CPU hardware without GPU requirements. Experimental results on a six-student cohort demonstrate a recognition accuracy of 94%, a 7-percentage-point improvement over single-model LBPH (87%) and a 3-percentage-point improvement over an un-stabilized multi-model variant (91%), while sustaining an average end-to-end recognition latency of 41 ms per frame on commodity CPU hardware. The proposed solution provides a practical, contactless, and reliable attendance management system suitable for real-world deployment in resource-constrained educational institutions.
