df = attendance.start_monitoring(camera_index=0)

# Save report
attendance.save_report()

2. Emotion Analysis

from camera_master import EmotionAnalyzer

# Initialize
analyzer = EmotionAnalyzer()

# Start analysis
analyzer.start_analysis(camera_index=0)

# Get statistics
stats = analyzer.get_emotion_statistics()
print(f"Dominant emotion: {stats['dominant_emotion']}")

3. Gesture Recognition

from camera_master import GestureRecognizer

# Initialize
recognizer = GestureRecognizer()

# Start recognition
recognizer.start_recognition(camera_index=0)

4. Comprehensive Monitoring

from camera_master import (
 Attendance, EmotionAnalyzer, AttentionTracker,
 Visualizer, ReportGenerator
)

# Initialize all components
attendance = Attendance()
emotion = EmotionAnalyzer()
attention = AttentionTracker()
visualizer = Visualizer()
reports = ReportGenerator()

# Run monitoring session
# ... (see examples/demo_comprehensive.py)
