Week 14: Final Conclusion Of FYP 1

This fingerprint project will produce new development in access systems and management system. It is found not only able to prevent a trespassers but also can improve employee discipline and punctuality. By development of this project, it will increase the knowledge in programming especially on Matlab software. It also provide a challenge to the developer to develop this kind of program.

            The research findings will be very useful to company in Malaysia that wanted to improve on the security and attendance system due to the benefits and it return of investment. In entrepreneurship sector, the researchers hope that if this project success it will be able to compete with other product. As a conclusion, the Development Of Fingerprint Image Processing Recognition’s proposal is demand as a success although the programming of the project is quite challenging but it is still reasonable to be developed in time.

Week 13: Reports Submitting

After being through the proposal process, both the progress and proposal report’s submission is on the end of week 13. For me, it is just the beginning of my project. It is still long ways to go to achieve the objective of this project. Hopefully my project development will be develop according to my work plan.

Week 12: Overall Budget

The survey on the thumbprint device price is estimate around RM 500-RM 400. The device should be compatible with the MATLAB software. This is important due of the develop software are using MATLAB programs. The figure below shown the thumbprint device which is strongly recommended.

The device does not come with the USB connector which mean USB device have to be buy separately. The USB device price is estimate around RM 42.00-RM39.00. This is also a important device to connect the thumbprint device with computer.The figure above shown the USB to UART device.

No.	Components	Quantity	Price
1.	Fingerprint Reader	1	RM 500.00
2.	USB to UART converter	1	RM 42.00
3.	Matlab Software (Student Version)		-
4.	Other expense		RM 50.00
		TOTAL	RM 592.00

Week 11:Work Plan

The time frame allocated for this development project is 26 weeks (not including semester break, revision week and exam week). it have started in September 2013 and will be completed before in May 2014. The Gantt chart for the project and it milestone are shown as in two table below which is table 8.1 for FYP 1 and table 8.2 for FYP 2.

Table 8.1 :FYP 1 milestone

Table 8.2 : FYP 2 milestone

Week 10:FYP Presentation

During this week, I had to present my project’s proposal in front my assessors. It have been up and down for me during the Q & A section but overall I felt I manage to done a fantastic job. My assessors for my proposal presentation are Madam Mazhaniza Binti Muzamil and Madam Nor Khairiah Bt Ibrahim. 

Week 9: Benefits Expectations

The  benefits expectations of this project is :

·        Improve security system to a better level by avoiding unauthorized access.

·        Reduce cost compare to product in markets nowadays that most of it using punch card system.

·        It will improve employee discipline and punctuality due of the time attendance system will calculate the actual access time

·        No more lazy excuse and buddy punching as fingerprint pattern must be the user himself.

Week 8: Flow Chart

Figure 4.2 :Operation’s Flow Chart

By referring to the flow chart above ,the project starts with password pattern recognition then the thumbprint device to recognize the thumbprint identification. The devices will send the gathered information to the software for identification purpose. After that, the develop software will analyze the data received either it match or unmatched with the data in the storage.Data storage have been store some of the user’s thumbprint pattern. The time entry will be save in the data storage after the user’s entry. In case the information matched with the data, it will give the authorize people to access the system.Otherwise, if the information is incorrect, the alarm will trigger and the security guard will be notice to take some action.
