CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

This project is to design and develops a reliable tracking and recording systems based on

biometric fingerprint identification used to monitor attendance. Biometric Access Control

System also provides the highest level of security available today by eliminative the stolen,

transferred and duplicating. It also will eliminate the problems related with manual work

associated with paper based and punch card. The systems will be developed with extended GUI

by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 integrated with Microsoft Fingerprint Reader which

stores the login names and passwords in an internal database located in the user's computer.

When needed, the device interactively sends the login names and passwords to compatible

applications and websites which can be used to perform the login operation automatically. The

device could be useful in an office or campus environment.

This project is a combination of software and hardware. The project is to

recognize fingerprint images and match within the database. The database need to be

created and inside the database will contain information of the student likes the picture,

name, matrix number and the course. In order creating the database, a programming

codes is needed and the Microsoft Office Access is been used for this project.



2

The second step for this project after finishing the database is to make a

connection with the hardware. The hardware that represent here is the Fingerprint

Images Scanner Device. The database system will utilize with the hardware together

with a software development kit. The established connection between the database and

device will make the project successful.

The true work of the project is to match the information that store in database

with the right fingerprint when the student using the device. This is means that for the

first time, the student will be set to match with the right information of them in database.

And the next time, the student used the device, its will automatically with the right

information that been set earlier.

1.2 Objective

a) To design and develop attendance submission using Microsoft Visual Studio

2005 and Microsoft Fingerprint Reader

b) To provides the medium level of security available simply because Biometric

Identifiers cannot be lost, transferred, duplicated, or stolen

c) To expose, learn and expand the knowledge in programming

d) More cost-effective compared to card based systems

1.3 Problem Statement

At the moment, the current system in lecture or lab session, lecturer will pass the

students name list to sign in for student who attends that class. Falsify of student

signature is frequently and easily happened. So, to prevent this problem, it is ideal to

develop the attendance management system using biometric fingerprint recognition that

will monitor and record the attendance of every student in class. The barcode is easy to



3

produce and duplicate, but fingerprint is unique for everyone. So, this system is not

developed based on current barcode system in student’s smart card.

1.4 Scope of Work

The scope of this project is to develop the Attendance Management Systems

Using Fingerprint Scanner by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 software integrated

with Microsoft Fingerprint Reader as an input. To make this reader to communicate with

Microsoft’s.NET Framework, the GrFingerXCtrl Class toolbox provided by Griaule is

used. Through this project, the research of biometric fingerprint algorithm will be

explored widely. Besides that, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 programming language

with extended GUI will be use as an interface for design program. The design program

includes the basic personal information database.

1.4.1 Software

Software development includes design the graphic user interface (GUI) using

Microsoft Visual Basic. The GUI that has been done developed was the registration

menu to store basic information, likes name, matrix number, photo, course, etc. This

programming language is used to integrate with the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader as an

input. To make this reader to communicate with Microsoft’s.NET Framework, the

GrFingerXCtrl Class toolbox provided by Griaule is used. Visual Basic is designed to

allow the program run under the windows without the complexity generally associated

with windows programming. The design screen can holds standard windows button such

as command buttons, check boxes, option buttons, text boxes and so on. Each of these

windows object, operates as expected, producing a “standard” windows user interface.

Visual Basic that recently appears as one of the most popular programming language is

chose. It provided standard windows object and graphic user interface that will make the

program become user friendly.

1.4.2 Hardware

Basically this project does not involve the development of hardware. The

software is integrated with Microsoft Fingerprint Reader through USB interface. Using

the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader, the GrFinger Software Development Kit toolbox

provided by Griaule can be used as a key to retrieve the user IDs and passwords for

logging into these systems.

Figure 1.1 Microsoft Fingerprint Reader

1.5 Project Planning

There are many phase in order to finish the project and achieve all the objectives.

The first phase is focusing in software development, where there will be need in create a

database system. The database system that contain the information of the students

whether its will be a picture, name, matrix number and course been taken. The databaseis needed to be creating using a program.

For the second phase, the project will proceed in configuration the device. The

device which is a fingerprint image scanner device is been used. The problem that might

occur during the process is whether the database can utilize with the device. If there are

2.2 Software Development Kit (SDK)

A Software Development Kit (SDK or "devkit") is typically a set of development

tools that allows a software engineer to create applications for a certain software

package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game

console, operating system, or similar platform.

It may be something as simple as an application programming interface in the

form of some files to interface to a particular programming language or include

sophisticated hardware to communicate with a certain embedded system. Common tools

include debugging aids and other utilities often presented in an IDE. SDKs also

frequently include sample code and supporting technical notes or other supporting

documentation to help clarify points from the primary reference material.

A fingerprint SDK is a software toolkit that allows the integration of biometric

fingerprint recognition into various applications. They will typically utilize either DLL

or ActiveX (COM) to interface with the integrated application. By referencing these

DLL or COM objects, developers are able to utilize the fingerprint functionality from

within a desired application.

Fingerprint SDKs provide a basic framework of functions to talk to a fingerprint

scanner, capture an image, extract the unique minutiae data from the image, and

compare two sets of extracted minutiae data. All of the more complex features and

functionality are built upon this framework.
