Malpractice Detection in Examination Hall using Deep Learning

Various institutions administer tests at designated examination locations, chosen third-party and approved centers, and have established standards for installing CCTV cameras and conducting frisking under the supervision of designated personnel. Some institutions are using online proctoring, which enables students to take exams from any location. In all of the aforementioned scenarios, human monitoring is conducted, and maintaining a high level of vigilance may be challenging due to administrative oversight or intentional allowance of malpractice for personal gain. The malpractice detection may be attributed to acts like as plagiarism, unauthorized sharing of papers, and non-verbal communication. The study is conducted by capturing the dataset in the classroom of Christ University. The proposed approach is based on the YOLO framework. The movies are processed in real time to identify hand rotation, paper extraction, and classify the motion. The accuracy for the Head_right class is significantly higher than that of the Head_left class. The system is implemented using the programming language Python and has the potential for future expansion to provide real-time monitoring.
