TL;DR

An Attention-Enhanced Lightweight CNN framework that couples MTCNN multi-scale face detection with a CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module) augmented MobileFace-style backbone trained under triplet loss to produce compact, discriminative 128-dimensional face embeddings from surveillance video is proposed.

Abstract

Manual and card/barcode-based attendance recording remains slow, error-prone, and vulnerable to proxy marking, motivating fully automated, camera-based alternatives for schools and organizations. This paper proposes an Attention-Enhanced Lightweight CNN framework that couples MTCNN multi-scale face detection with a CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module) augmented MobileFace-style backbone trained under triplet loss to produce compact, discriminative 128-dimensional face embeddings from surveillance video. Enrolled identities are matched via cosine similarity against a reference embedding gallery, and a temporal multi-frame voting stage consolidates predictions across consecutive frames to suppress transient misdetections caused by pose change, partial occlusion, or motion blur.

A Unified Framework for Automated Proctoring under Overhead Surveillance and Imperfect Supervision

Automated exam proctoring under overhead surveillance is challenging due to desk occlusion, privacy concerns, rare cheating events, and limited manual annotations. To address these issues, we propose a noise-aware proctoring framework based on Temporal Kinematic Network (TKNet), a topology-independent backbone that foc...
