MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641008151 A) filed by Srinivas Institute Of Technology, Mangaluru, Karnataka, on Jan. 28, for 'real time ai powered face recognition system with database integration.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. Nagaraja Hebbar N; Dr. Shrinivasa Mayya D; Mr. Ashwin V; Ms. Bhoomika V G; Mr. Mohammed Shanshad R; Ms. Mokshashree M N; Mr. Ahanija Narayana CH; Mr. Pranava Sharma K; Mr. Prathviraj; and Mr. Winston Fernandes.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In the digital century face recognition technology finds application in many areas as a commonly used biometric tool. With relatively lower accuracy when compared to finger recognition techniques, its non-contact and non-invasive nature renders it highly desirable. It is found to work best in applications involving security, authentication, as well as attendance tracking within academia and the workplace. This project designs an AI-based attendance monitoring system that works on the principle of face recognition to treat the inefficiencies and scope for incorrectness in conventional attendance systems, whereby the possibility of proxy attendance is a concern. The system involves four primary stages: building a database of student images, face detection, identity recognition, and updating attendance information. It adopts Haar-Cascade classifiers and Local Binary Pattern Histogram algorithm for the face identification process, handling video flows recorded in real-time in the classroom. Attendance records are automatically sent to the involved faculty member by email after the session."
