Abstract

In order to reduce the time spent on class attendance in colleges and universities, an auxiliary sign-in technology based on surveillance cameras was investigated and designed. This paper proposes to use deep learning algorithm to detect and count current number of students and calculate the class attendance rate. Due to the insufficient classroom illumination, densely occluded faces and the blurred image, the system first performs light compensation on the input image, and uses the InceptionV1 convolutional network to generate multiple region proposal for the specific location of the faces, the Long Short-Term Memory is further used to resolve the region proposal to obtain a face frame with maximum confidence. Finally the class attendance statistic is calculated by counting the number of real face frames. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improves the detection speed, reducing the computational time from 119 ms to 50 ms per frame on the gtx1060, meanwhile, the detection accuracy is high and robust, which meets the requirements of real-time class attendance detection.
