The problem Students Entry/Exit System solves

At IITR I once faced an issue that somebody random used my enrollment number to exit and did not return for 2 days during pandemic peak time. I had to face consequences and it caused a lot of unnecessary trouble, which gave me an idea to develop a software which would take snapshots and compare it with existing photo from database (I want to further implement it on Channel i, so the snapshot would be compared to the Channel i display picture). This would prevent any misuse of student IDs just by using enrollment number.

Challenges we ran into

It was difficult to use OpenCV and Tkinter together, at first we spent hours on installation of libraries, then followed some tutorials for OpenCV. We could not find any tutorial for OpenCV and Tkinter combined, and had to get our hands dirty by finding syntaxes line by line, specially to display live video in tkinter label, then capturing a snapshot and displaying it instead, and then performing a facial recognition test.
