Smart System to Recapitulate Student Attendance on Virtual Meeting Platforms During Covid-19

Abstract

Educators have problems conducting online learning, such as monitoring student attendance while presenting the material. This paper aims to predict student names who attend zoom video conferences with various lighting conditions and face angles by comparing two detection and two recognition methods. This paper proposes an intelligent system based on the use of a bot that will analyse a combination of face detection and recognition method for attendance systems using video conferencing applications to carry out online learning. The proposed system will use the best combination of two methods to recapitulate student attendance. The face detection system uses Haar Cascade and MTCNN, and the face recognition system uses ResNet and FaceNet. The tests were conducted on video zoom footage taken during online lectures. The results show that MTCNN and FaceNet get the highest accuracy, 93.23%.
