Towards Robust Classroom Attendance: A Comprehensive Evaluation of Face Detection and Recognition Models

The paper introduces the Visage Face dataset, containing 16,234 face samples captured in varied classroom conditions such as different angles, lighting, expressions, and partial occlusions. Using a YOLO-based detector, the authors evaluate seven state‑of‑the‑art face recognition models across thirteen configurations, finding that FaceLiVTv2‑M achieves the highest performance with 99.75% Top‑1/Top‑5 accuracy and a 6.459 ms inference time. These findings demonstrate that the Visage Face dataset provides a realistic and challenging benchmark for classroom attendance systems.

ClassVision: AI-Powered Classroom Attendance System

ClassVision is an AI-powered system that automates classroom attendance using face detection and face recognition. The system employs RetinaFace for detection and a face recognition model for verification, processing real‑time images to identify students and record attendance automatically. It offers a user‑friendly web interface with human‑computer interaction to streamline the attendance process.

A Combined Feature-Based Framework for Disguise and Spoofing Detection in Face Recognition Systems

arXiv:2608. 08521v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Face recognition systems face two distinct, commonly-separated failure modes: spoofing, where an impostor presents a photograph or video of an authorized user, and disguise, where a legitimate user is rejected because their appearance differs from their enrolled template due to accessories, facial hair, illumination, or pose.

DenseFace: Bias Mitigation in Face Recognition via Density-Aware Probabilistic Matching

DenseFace introduces a bias‑mitigation technique for face recognition that operates on pre‑trained models without retraining. It models each person’s face embeddings with a von Mises‑Fisher distribution and uses a density‑aware probabilistic matching procedure to account for demographic differences. Experiments show that DenseFace consistently reduces racial bias across various architectures and datasets while preserving recognition accuracy.
