CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Information technology at the present time is vast and progressive. It is being
integrated to almost most of our daily activities. Computer Laboratories of the school
are a typical place where workstations, the interconnecting network, and other devices
are exposed continuously to several threats (Daniel B. Zapanta Jr, 2020).With this
reality, many ideas and improvements are designed and developed to make computer
technology attainable and flexible. People of all ages must be prepared and equipped
with all the basic skills and knowledge to make individuals competent and literate in
the information age. However, it is very much exposed to several threats and
vulnerabilities when it comes to the information that was kept in several workstations
inside the laboratory (Talirongan H. & Talirongan F.J., 2021)
(https://ejournals.ph/index.php).
In the Laboratory students frequently utilize computers to finish their projects
and conduct research. Also a variety of activities, including socializing with other
students and instructors, takes place here. Sadly, a lot of the issue that students get
into when utilizing a computer in the laboratory are brought on by lack of good
instructions and manuals. The challenges in the computer laboratory include losing
objects, manual process for assigning a computer number to each student and trouble
identifying each student for their respective desktop computer assign. This problem
would affect the students and instructors that would lead to miscommunication
between the students and instructor and waste of time to do the manual method and
with this problems the researcher conducts this project called “Computer Laboratory
Monitoring System using Vision System”
The project entitled Computer Laboratory Monitoring System using Vision System is
a project that will able to automate the monitoring in computer laboratories.
Using Face recognition. The Information Technology Department can monitor the
devices inside the laboratories by tracking the user registered in the system. The said
project will monitor and record the usage of students in computer laboratories where
students automate identify their information, attendance and computer number by
using face recognition and the data of the students will be stored in real-time database.
The benefits of this project is to insure all the things inside the laboratories
and can directly identify the students who responsible and use the computer and can
easily give the respective area or number of a computer they will use. This would help
both students and instructors to lessen the time by doing manual process and maintain
the control learning management system around laboratory.

Development of a Computer Laboratory Monitoring System using Face

Recognition
(Edosomwan R.S., 2019)
According to the study of R.S Edosomwon, et al., (2019), the development of
a computer laboratory monitoring system that uses face recognition technology to
monitor the entry and exit of a students in a computer laboratory. The system uses a
camera to capture the image of the student’s face and compares it to the database of
registered students to verify their identity. The system operates by scanning the faces
of individuals entering and exiting the computer lab. The software analyzes the data,
compares it to the database of authorized users, and determines whether or not the
individual is authorized to enter the lab. If the system recognizes the individual as
authorized, the access control device grants access, and the individual is allowed to
enter the lab. If not, access is denied, and an alert is generated for the security
personnel. Once inside the computer lab, the system continues to monitor the
activities of the individuals in the lab. The cameras capture images of the individuals,
which are analyzed by the face recognition algorithm. The software can be
programmed to track the movements of individuals within the lab and generate alerts
if any suspicious activity is detected. The software can also log the time and date of
each access attempt and activity within the lab. The system can be further customized
to include additional security features such as two-factor authentication, password
protection, or biometric identification, such as fingerprint or iris recognition. It can
also be integrated with other security systems, such as fire alarms or CCTV cameras,
to provide a comprehensive security solution for the computer lab. The
implementation of such a system requires expertise in computer networking, access
control devices, and software development. The system can be developed by a team
of professionals with complementary skills in these areas, including computer
scientists, software engineers, and security experts. In summary, a Development
Computer Laboratory Monitoring System using Face Recognition is a security system
that provides secure access to computer labs in educational institutions, enhances the
security and monitoring of the lab, protects the privacy and security of the data stored
in the lab, and ensures that the lab is used only for its intended purposes.
Design and Implementation of a Computer Laboratory Monitoring System

Based on Facial Recognition
(Y. Chen., 2018)
According to the study of Y. Chen (2018), in this study, the authors developed
a computer lab management system based on face recognition technology. The system
was designed to manage the usage of computers in a lab, track student attendance, and
ensure the security of the facility. The system uses face recognition technology to
identify students and allow them to access the computers in the lab. The attendance of
students is automatically recorded when they enter and the system can generate
reports on attendance, usage, and security. The system uses facial recognition
technology to identify and authenticate students and staff members who are
authorized to access the computer lab. The system also monitors the activities of
individuals within the lab and generates alerts for security personnel in case of any
security breaches. The system consists of hardware and software components. The
hardware components include camera placed at strategic locations within the
computer lab to capture images of individuals entering and exiting the lab, and a
central server that manages access control and monitoring. The software components
include a facial recognition algorithm, a database of authorized users, and software
that controls the access control devices, logs access attempts, and generates alerts for
security personnel in case of any security breaches. The system operates by scanning
the faces of individuals attempting to enter the computer lab. The facial recognition
algorithm analyzes the data, compares it to the database of authorized users, and
determines whether or not the individual is authorized to enter the lab. If the system
recognizes the individual as authorized, the access control device grants access, and
the individual is allowed to enter the lab. If not, access is denied, and an alert is
generated for the security personnel. Once inside the computer lab, the system
continues to monitor the activities of the individuals in the lab. The cameras capture
images of the individuals, which are analyzed by the facial recognition algorithm. The

troubleshoot issues related to HVAC systems, ensure that building comfort levels are
maintained, and minimize energy consumption. When properly designed, maintained
and operated, a BAS will deliver stable control, closed circuit television. To fully
capture the comprehensive application of this campus system, it will be referred to as
an energy management and control system.
Students Attendance System in Classroom using Face Recognition Technique

(Samuel L., 2017)
According to the study of S. Lukas (2017), A student attendance system in a
classroom using face recognition technique involves the use of computer vision
technology to automatically capture images of students' The system operates by
scanning the faces of individuals attempting to enter the computer lab. The facial
recognition algorithm analyzes the data, compares it to the database of authorized
users, and determines whether or not the individual is authorized to enter the lab. If
the system recognizes the individual as authorized, the access control device grants
access, and the individual is allowed to enter the lab. If not, access is denied, and an
alert is generated for lab management. Once inside the computer lab, the system can
be programmed to track the movements of individuals within the lab and generate
reports for lab management. The software can log the time and date of each access
attempt and activity within the lab, which can be used to analyze lab usage patterns
and optimize lab management. The system can also generate alerts if any suspicious
activity is detected. The system can be customized to include additional features such
as attendance tracking, usage monitoring, or scheduling software. It can also be
integrated with other security systems, such as fire alarms or CCTV cameras, to
provide a comprehensive security solution for the computer lab. Facial Recognition-
based System for Computer Lab Management is a security system that provides
secure access to computer labs in educational institutions, enhances the management
of the lab, protects the privacy and security of the data stored in the lab, and ensures
that the lab is used only for its intended purposes faces and match them with their
registered faces in a database. This is done by setting up a camera in the classroom,
which is connected to a computer with face recognition software installed. When
students arrive in the classroom, they stand in front of the camera, and their faces are
captured by the camera. The face recognition software then compares the captured
images with the registered images in the database, and if there is a match, the
attendance of the student is marked as present. The face recognition technology used
in this system works by analyzing specific facial features, such as the distance
between the eyes, the shape of the nose, and the contours of the face. These features
are then compared to the registered faces in the database, and a match is made based
on the level of similarity. The advantage of using a student attendance system in the
classroom using face recognition technique is that it saves time and reduces errors
associated with manual attendance taking. It also provides accurate attendance records
and allows teachers to easily monitor attendance patterns of students. Additionally,
this technology can also help to enhance security and safety in the classroom by
detecting and alerting teachers of any unauthorized persons in the classroom.
A Smart Attendance System for University Computer Laboratories Using Facial

Recognition
(Nguyen T.H.,2021)
According to the study of T.H. Nguyen (2021), this study proposes a smart
attendance system for university computer laboratories using facial recognition
technology. The system automatically captures the image of the student and identifies
their identity, which is then used for attendance management. The system is design to
improve the accuracy of attendance records, reduce the workload of teachers, and
enhance the security of the laboratory. When a student enters the laboratory, the
camera captures their face, and the facial recognition software compares it with the
images of registered students in a database. If the software recognizes the face, it
records the student's attendance. The system also generates reports of attendance
records for each laboratory session, which can be accessed by teachers and
administrators. The use of this system can significantly reduce the time and effort
required to take attendance manually, as well as minimize errors and discrepancies.

Additionally, it can provide real-time attendance records and help to monitor the
attendance patterns of students.

Supervisory Control System Based on Multi- Agents Techniques for a Smarter

Computer Laboratory
(M. Hussein, 2020)
M. Hussein's work (2020) states that this paper offers a control and
monitoring system for a computer laboratory utilizing an Arduino Uno coupled to
sensors to access and operate devices using a computer application. Essentially,
LabVIEW's Vision Assistant and data capture tool are used to automate lab
procedures. The suggested system consists of four agents, the first of which uses face
recognition to regulate access. The agent is made up of two key components: door
control and real-time face recognition. Real-time face detection is accomplished using
OpenCV libraries, while real-time face identification and sending of a security
warning message to the supervisor are accomplished using the PCA technique. A
hardware device that opens doors automatically. In order to connect a computer with
an electrical door, a hardware circuit was created. The foundation of this agent is
LabVIEW's data gathering tool and Visual Assistant. Second, when smoke or flame is
detected, an Arduino Uno microcontroller is used as the transmitter part to operate the
sensor nodes, provide alarms, and send SMS messages to the supervisor. A third tool
for tracking student attendance is an audio processing tool. Students' identities are
confirmed by voiceprint using the DTW algorithm, which compares the speaker's
voice signal to voice signals that have already been saved in the database and uses
MFCC to extract the speaker voice signal's key properties. Fourth, incorporating the
electrical consumption reduction agent inside.
Computer Lab Access Control System Using Face Recognition

(S. M. T. Iqbal., 2018)
According to the study of S.M.T. Iqbal (2018). In this day and age, with the
advent of technology and advanced automation systems, it has become essential for
educational institutions to enhance the security and control of their facilities. As such, this
study suggests a computer lab access control system which uses face recognition
technology. This system is designed to not only provide secure access to the lab but also
automate attendance management and ensure the security of the facility. In this study, the
author discuss in detail the various aspects of this system and how it can benefit
educational institutions. Facial recognition technology is a biometric technology used
to unlock devices, access secure facilities, and make payments. Facial recognition
technology can be used to control access to the computer lab, preventing unauthorized
access and data theft. Automating attendance management with facial recognition
technology, saving time and reducing errors. The proposed computer lab access
control system uses facial recognition technology to ensure only authorized
individuals are allowed access, preventing malicious activity and theft of equipment.
Face Recognition Using Eigenfaces

(Matthew A., 2019)
The study by Matthew A. et al., (2019) states that this study presents a method
for the detection and identification of human faces and describes a functional, near-
real-time face recognition system that tracks a subject's head before identifying them
by comparing facial features to those of well-known people. Since faces are typically
upright, this method approaches face identification as a two-dimensional recognition
problem, taking advantage of the fact that only a limited number of 2-D characteristic
view can adequately characterize a face. Projections of known face pictures are made
onto a feature space that best encodes their variation. The "eigenfaces," or
eigenvectors of the set of faces, characterize the face; they may not always correlate
to individual characteristics like the eyes, ears, and noses. The system enables the
acquisition of unsupervised facial recognition skills.
Attendance Monitoring System using Face Recognition

(Devendra P., 2017)
Authentication is a significant problem in system control in computer-based
communication, according to D. Peshave (2017). Human face recognition is a crucial
area of biometric verification that has found widespread usage in a variety of fields,
including network security, human-computer interface, door control systems and
video monitor systems. The Personal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm is used in
this work to develop a way for the Student's Attendance System that will connect with
facial recognition technology. Based on the person's facial recognition, the attendance
will be recorded. The class will be photographed as a group, and faces will be
recognized and segmented from the photograph. After segmenting the faces, a
database of all the class members is created and compared to the segmented faces. A
GSM module will be used to send an SMS message to absentees. The system will
automatically keep track of each student's attendance in the classroom, and it will give
the faculty the tools to readily access the information of the students by keeping a log
of when each student clocks in and out.

(Zhang X., 2018)
According to the study of Zhang X. et al., (2018), is a study that proposes a
smart classroom management system that uses face recognition technology to identify
students and track their attendance in a classroom setting. The system is developed to
improve the efficiency of classroom management and reduce the workload of
teachers. The system works by using cameras installed in the classroom to capture
images of the students' faces. These images are then processed and analyzed using
face recognition algorithms to identify the students. The system is able to accurately
identify the students even in varying lighting conditions or when they are wearing
masks. The study also discusses the benefits of using such a system, including
improved attendance tracking, reduction in manual attendance taking, and increased
security in the classroom. Additionally, the system can generate reports on attendance
and student behavior, which can be useful for teachers in assessing the effectiveness
of their teaching methods.
Access Control and Monitoring; A System for Computer Laboratory

(Talirongan H., 2021)
According to the study of H. Talirongan et al. (2021), The system “Access
Control and Monitoring System for Computer Laboratory is a Security System|” that
allows only authorized persons to access computer labs in educational institutions
such as universities, colleges, and high schools. The system ensures that only students
and staff members who have been granted access can enter the computer lab, while
unauthorized persons are denied entry. The system consists of hardware and software
components. The hardware components include cameras placed at the entrance of the
lab, a central server that manages access to the lab, and access control devices such as
Keypad’s, biometric sensors or RFID card readers. The software components include
a database of authorized users and software that controls the access control devices,
logs access attempts and generates alerts for security personnel in case of any security
breaches. The system operates by scanning the faces or ID cards of individuals
attempting to access the computer lab. The software analyzes the data, compares it to
the database of authorized users, and determines whether or not the individual is
authorized to enter the lab. If the system recognizes the individual as authorized, the
access control device grants access, and the individual is allowed to enter the lab. If
not, access is denied, and an alert is generated for the security personnel. The system
can be further customized to include additional security features such as two-factor
authentication, password protection, or biometric identification, such as fingerprint or
iris recognition. The software can also be programmed to log the time and date of
each access attempt, providing a record of who has accessed the lab and when. The
implementation of such a system requires expertise in computer networking, access
control devices, and software development. The system can be developed by a team
of professionals with complementary skills in these areas, including computer
scientists, software engineers, and security experts. In summary, the Access Control
and Monitoring system for Computer Laboratory is a security system that provides
secure access to computer labs in educational institutions, ensuring that only
authorized persons can enter the lab, while unauthorized persons are denied entry. The
system enhances the security of computer labs, protects the privacy and security of the
data stored in the labs, and ensures that the labs are used only for their intended
purposes.
IT Center Attendance Monitoring System using Face Recognition

(Dultiao J., 2019)
According to the study of Jay Ar L. Dultiao et al. (2019), this paper describes the
development of a student attendance system in a university IT Center based on Face

Recognition technology. The spurt of technologies to improve education services
delivery has been rampant, but some institutions fail to embrace this and prefer to live
with the traditions. The attendance monitoring system in some universities and
schools is still done manually. Thus, this study proposed an Attendance Monitoring
System using Face Recognition aimed at managing students attendance recording and
ensuring easy monitoring of attendance in an IT Center. It is expected that upon
deployment of the system, faculty will benefit as students' attendance can be
efficiently monitored; thus, the quality of teaching and performance of students may
be improved. The students, faculty, and staff of Quirino State University can
access the internet for online research using IT Center. Through the help of the IT
Center, the students’ needs can be catered through furnishing them vast amount of
learning resources and online instructions which are available in the IT center. With
the high number of users, the facilitator finds it difficult to manage and monitor their
attendance. As a solution to the existing problem, the researchers designed the IT
Center Attendance Monitoring System using Face Recognition to monitor the
frequency of clients using the facility by simply tapping their face in face recognition.
Implementation Face Recognition Attendance Monitoring System for Lab

Surveillance with Hash Encryption
(Hamami F., 2020)
According to the study of F. Hamami, et al. (2020), Face recognition (FR) is
becoming popular to identify people. In fact, using the FR scheme, surveillance tasks
can be built by recognizing people from their faces. This paper presents the
implementation of face recognition as a biometric method for smart attendance as
well as we also proposed the integrated scheme from capturing data from edge
devices (CCTVs), streaming data to the dedicated server, then presenting the real-time
data through android mobile devices. In this scheme, we proposed to employ deep
learning algorithms based on the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Through the
CCTV data streaming, faces are captured and matched with the database. Therefore, it
is considered as their logging attendance. Furthermore, it is marked and stored into
the database. This system prototype is developed by big data technology to tackle this
complexity of data. The recognized faces can be monitored in real time monitoring.
Eventually, real time reports are delivered through the web and android device with
API after the data transmission is secured with hash encryption.
Real-time Implementation of Face Recognition System

(Neel Ramakant Borkar and Sonia Kuwelkar., 2017)
According to the study of N.R. Borkar and S. Kuwelkar (2017), Face
Recognition is the ability to detect and recognize a person by their facial
characteristics. Face is a multidimensional and hence requires a lot of mathematical
computations. Face recognition system is very essential and important for providing
security, mug shot matching, law enforcement applications, user verification, user
access control, etc and is mostly used for recognition for various applications. These
all applications require an efficient Face recognition system. There are many methods
that are already proposed and have low recognition capability, high false alarm rate.
Hence the major task of the research is to develop face recognition system with
improved accuracy and improved recognition time of and face recognition system.
This paper proposes a hybrid face recognition algorithm by combining two face
recognition techniques by integrating (PCA) principle Component Analysis, (LDA)
Linear Discriminant Analysis. Jacobi method is used to compute Eigenvector that are
necessary for PCA and LDA algorithms. Face Recognition system will be
implemented on Embeded system based Raspberry pi 3 board.
Extraordinary Face Recognition Performance in Laboratory and Online Testing

(Petersen,LaraAylin and Leue Anja,2021)
According to the study of L.A Petersen and L. Anja, used to examine
exceptional facial recognition skills (super-recognizers [SR]). We have not yet looked
into whether the CFMT+'s lab and online presentations affect how the test performs.
In addition, we wanted to look into the psychometric characteristics of the Glasgow
face matching test and the CFMT+ (GFMT-S). Depending on the presentation style,
we report item difficulties, Cronbach's Alpha, and T norms for the CFMT+ and
GFMT-S. We examined how presentation mode, age, and gender affected variances in
CFMT+ and GFMT-S performance. The findings revealed that individuals who
presented online, were female, and were between the ages of 26 and 35 performed
much higher on the CFMT+ test. With the GFMTS, only online participants
demonstrated noticeably higher test performance. In general, we explore the
moderating impacts of participants' motivation for online assessments, the
requirement of differential standards (for example, for personnel choices), and the use
of T norms.
A Review of Supercomputer Performance Monitoring Systems

(Vladimir V., 2021)
High Performance Computing is currently one of the developing disciplines in
computer science and its applications, according to the study Vladimir V. (2021).
Supercomputers, which are top HPC facilities, provide excellent options for modeling
various processes, enabling the development of more and better goods without the
need for large-scale tests. Supercomputers and the applications that run on them are
currently exceedingly complicated, making them difficult to operate effectively. The
instruments that aid in understanding the effectiveness of supercomputer applications
and general supercomputer functioning are called performance monitoring systems. In
this paper, we provide an overview of existing performance monitoring systems
designed for or used on supercomputers. These systems gather data on what occurs on

Development of Academic Attendance Monitoring System Using Facial

Identification
(Tabassam N., 2019)
According to the study of T. Nawaz, et al. (2019), in this paper they propose a
system that automates the whole process of taking attendance and maintaining its
records in an academic institute. Managing people is a difficult task for most of the
organizations, and maintaining the attendance record is an important factor in people
management. When considering academic institutes, taking the attendance of students
on daily basis and maintaining the records is a major task. Manually taking the
attendance and maintaining it for a long time adds to the difficulty of this task as well
as wastes a lot of time. For this reason an efficient system is designed. This system
takes attendance electronically with the help of a facial sensor and all the records are
saved on a computer server. Facial sensors and LCD screens are placed at the
entrance of each room. In order to mark the attendance, student has to place his/her
face on the facial sensor. On identification student’s attendance record is updated in
the database and he/she is notified through LCD screen. No need of all the stationary
material and special personal for keeping the records. Furthermore an automated
system replaces the manual system.

Face Recognition Security System using LabView

(Sudha Rani K, T.C. Sarma and K. Satya Prasad., 2018)
According to the study of R.K. Sudha, T.C. Sarma and K. S. Prasad (2018),
LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment that is widely used in various
engineering fields, including security systems. In the case of a face recognition office
security system, LabVIEW can be used to create a program that captures images of
people entering the office, processes those images to detect faces, and compares those
faces to a database of authorized personnel. The program can be created using a
combination of LabVIEW's built-in vision and image processing tools, as well as
custom code blocks created using LabVIEW's programming language, G. To create
the program, the first step is to set up the hardware, including cameras or other image
capture devices. Then, the LabVIEW program can be created to capture and process
images from the cameras. This can be done using the built-in vision tools, which
include features such as face detection and recognition. The program can also include
a database of authorized personnel, which can be used to compare the faces detected
in the images to the authorized personnel. If a match is found, the person is allowed to
enter the office. If not, access is denied. The program can be further customized to
include additional security features, such as requiring a password or other
authentication methods in addition to face recognition. The author of such a system

could be a security expert or an engineer with experience in developing LabVIEW
applications for security systems. It is also possible that a team of professionals with
complementary skills in security, software development, and LabVIEW programming
may work together to develop such a system.
Face Recognition in Security and Surveillance Camera System

(Malach T., 2018)
The improvement of face recognition performance in surveillance CCTV
systems and access control systems is the focus of Malach Tobià's (2018) study. This
objective is accomplished by face template optimization, a cutting-edge strategy for
improving recognition performance. The production of templates is optimized,
producing templates with improved recognition performance. The following are some
partial goals that must be met in order to complete the face recognition performance
analysis and its optimization via optimal template construction. The first involves
creating a representative face database that will enable face recognition results in
CCTV and access control systems that are reliable and trustworthy. The second goal
is to develop a method for statistically valid results comparison that allows us to draw
pertinent conclusions. The third step is the creation and optimization of the template.
The obtained findings demonstrate that template improvement improves recognition
performance in the aforementioned difficult applications by 4-8%, and in some cases

even 15%. Hence, facial recognition in these applications is made possible thanks to
optimization of template development.
An Efficient Computer Laboratory Monitoring System using Face Recognition

and Wireless Sensor Networks
(O.J. Adewumi and O. Adeyemo., 2020)
According to the study of O.J. Adewumi and O. Adeyemo (2020), the paper
“An Efficient Computer Laboratory Monitoring System using Face Recognition and
Wireless Sensor Networks” proposes a computer laboratory monitoring system that
uses face recognition technology and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to track the
movement of people in lab and detect any authorized access. The authors suggest the
combination of face recognition technology and WSNs can enhance the accuracy of
the monitoring system and reduce the response time to security breaches. The
proposed system consists of two main components the face recognition module and
the WSN module. The face recognition module is responsible for capturing images of
people entering the lab and comparing them with a pre-existing database of authorized
faces. The WSN module, on the other hand, uses a network of sensors to track the
movement of people in the lab and detect any unauthorized access. The authors
implement the system using Raspberry Pi, and Open-CV for the face recognition
module, and Zigbee- based WSNs for the WSN module. They test the system on a
dataset of faces captured from a real-world computer lab and show that the system can
accurately detect authorized and unauthorized access. Overall, this paper an

innovative approach to computer laboratory monitoring using face recognition
technology and wireless sensor networks, which could improve the security of
computer labs and reduce the response time to security breaches.
A Real-time Face Recognition System based on the improved LBPH Algorithm

(XueMei Z., 2017)
According to the study of Xue Mei Zhao, (2017), The Local Binary Pattern
Histogram (LBPH) algorithm is a simple solution on face recognition problem, which
can recognize both front face and side face. However, the recognition rate of LBPH
algorithm under the conditions of illumination diversification, expression variation
and attitude deflection is decreased. To solve this problem, a modified LBPH
algorithm based on pixel neighborhood gray median (MLBPH) is proposed. The gray
value of the pixel is replaced by the median value of its neighborhood sampling value,
and then the feature value is extracted by the sub blocks and the statistical histogram
is established to form the MLBPH feature dictionary, which is used to recognize the
human face identity compared with test image. Experiments are carried on FERET
standard face database and the creation of new face database, and the results show
that MLBPH algorithm is superior to LBPH algorithm in recognition rate.
Face Recognition Accuracy of Forensic Examiners, Super recognizers, and Face

Recognition Algorithms
(Jonathon P., 2018)
Jonathon Phillips (2018) found that forensic facial examiners, facial reviewers,
and super-recognizers were more accurate than fingerprint examiners and students on
a challenging face identification test. Four deep convolutional neural networks
(DCNNs) identified faces within the range of human accuracy, with the most recent
DCNN scoring above the median. Crowd-sourcing methods helped to stabilize
performance, boosting the scores of lower-performing individuals and decreasing
variability. Collaboration between humans and machines offers tangible benefits to
face identification accuracy in important applications, providing an evidence-based
road map for achieving the most accurate face identification possible.

A Secured Smart Automation System for Computer Labs in Engineering

Colleges using Face Recognition
(Rincy Merlin M., 2019)
According to the study of R. M. Mathew (2019), a secured smart automation
system for computer labs in engineering colleges using face recognition is a
computer-based security system that ensures authorized access to computer labs in
engineering colleges. This system is designed to enhance the security of computer
labs while making the process of accessing the labs more efficient and convenient.
The system uses a face recognition algorithm to identify students and staff members
who are authorized to access the computer labs. The face recognition algorithm is
designed to recognize the unique facial features of each individual and grant access
only to authorized personnel. This eliminates the need for physical access cards or
keys, which can be lost or stolen. The system consists of a central computer that
controls access to the computer lab. The central computer is connected to a network
of cameras placed at the entrance of the computer lab. The cameras capture images of
individuals entering the lab, and the face recognition algorithm analyzes these images
to identify the individual. If the system recognizes the individual as an authorized
user, access is granted, and the individual is allowed to enter the lab. If the system
does not recognize the individual, access is denied, and an alert is sent to the security
personnel. The system can also be programmed to log the time and date of each
access attempt, providing a record of who has accessed the lab and when. The system
can be customized to include additional security features, such as biometric
identification, password protection, or two-factor authentication. It can also be
integrated with other security systems, such as fire alarms or CCTV cameras, to
provide a comprehensive security solution for the computer lab. The implementation
of such a system requires expertise in computer vision, image processing, and
software development. The system can be developed by a team of professionals with
complementary skills in these areas, including computer scientists, software
engineers, and security experts. The system can also be customized to meet the
specific needs of individual engineering colleges and can be scaled up to
accommodate larger computer labs or multiple locations.

Processing
(Lin Zhang and Xiaolong Li., 2020)
According to the study of Lin Zhang and Xiaolong Li (2020), "A Computer
Lab Monitoring System Based on Face Recognition and Image Processing" is a
research paper that proposes a system for monitoring computer laboratories using face
recognition and image processing techniques. The system is designed to improve

security and track attendance in computer labs. The proposed system uses a camera to
capture images of individuals entering and leaving the lab. These images are then

authorized users using face recognition technology to identify users. The system also
includes features for attendance tracking, which involves using the captured images to
identify who has entered and exited the lab. The system is designed to send
notifications to laboratory administrators when unauthorized individuals are detected
in the lab. The paper discusses the implementation of the proposed system, including
the hardware and software requirements, and provides experimental results
demonstrating the effectiveness of the system. The results show that the system is able
to accurately identify users and track attendance in real-time. Overall, the proposed
system offers a practical solution for monitoring computer labs using advanced face
recognition and image processing techniques. By improving security and attendance
tracking, the system can help to ensure a safe and secure learning environment for
students and staff.
Computer Laboratory Security System using Face Recognition and Motion

Detection
(H. F. Yildirim and O. B. Yildiz., 2020)
According to the study of H. F. Yildirim and O. B. Yildiz (2020), he paper
"Computer Laboratory Security System using Face Recognition and Motion
Detection" proposes a computer laboratory security system that uses face recognition
and motion detection technologies to provide enhanced security. The system is
designed to automatically detect and recognize the faces of registered users and detect
any suspicious movements in the laboratory. The system consists of three main
components: the face recognition module, the motion detection module, and the
security control module. The face recognition module captures an image of the user's
face using a camera and compares it to the registered user's face in the database. The
motion detection module uses a combination of sensors and computer vision
techniques to detect any suspicious movements in the laboratory. The security control
module analyzes the data from both modules and decides whether to grant or deny
access to the lab. If the system detects a suspicious movement, such as an
unauthorized person entering the lab or someone attempting to steal equipment, it
sends an alert to the administrator and triggers an alarm. The system logs the entry
and exit times of each user and any suspicious events that occur in the laboratory. The
proposed system provides a high level of security by combining face recognition and
motion detection technologies. The system is fast and efficient in identifying
registered users and can detect and respond to any suspicious activities in real-time.
The system is also scalable and can be easily integrated into existing security systems.
A Computer Lab Security System Using Face Recognition and RFID

(N. N. Nweke and O. E. Agilo., 2020)
According to the study of N.N. Nweke and O.E. Agilo (2020), the paper "A
Computer Lab Security System Using Face Recognition and RFID" proposes a
computer lab security system that combines face recognition and radio-frequency
identification (RFID) technologies to provide secure access control. The system is
designed to authenticate and grant access to users only if their face matches the
registered user's face and they have a valid RFID tag. The system consists of two
main components: the face recognition module and the RFID module. The face
recognition module captures an image of the user's face using a camera and compares
it to the registered user's face in the database. The system uses a deep learning-based
face recognition algorithm for accurate and reliable identification of users. The RFID
module reads the user's RFID tag and verifies that it is valid and belongs to the
registered user both the face recognition and RFID authentication succeed, the system
grants access to the user to the computer lab. The system logs the entry and exit times
of each user, and alerts the administrator if an unauthorized access attempt is made.
The proposed system provides a high level of security by combining two
authentication methods, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to gain access
to the lab. The system is also convenient for registered users since they only need to
present their face and RFID tag for access. The use of face recognition technology
ensures that the system is fast, accurate, and efficient in identifying registered users.
Supervisory Control System Based on Multi-Agents Techniques for a Smart

Computer Laboratory
(A. E. E. EAlfi, et al., 2020)
According to the study of A.E.E. EAlfi, A.E. Amin, M. Hussein and A.A.
Atta (2020), this paper provides a control and monitoring system for a computer lab
with the aid of Arduino Uno connected to sensors to access and control equipment
and devices using a computer application. It basically focuses on Laboratory
automation using the data acquisition tool and Vision Assistant of LabVIEW. The
proposed system consists of four agents; the first is an access control agent using
human face recognition. The agent composes of two main parts: real-time face
recognition and door control. Open-CV libraries are used for real time face detection
and the PCA algorithm is used for real time face recognition and also sending a
security alert message to the supervisor. In order to open the door automatically, a
hardware circuit was designed to connect a computer with an electrical door. This
agent is based on using the data acquisition tool and Vision Assistant of LabVIEW.
Second, fire and smoke detection agent, Arduino Uno is used as the microcontroller at
the transmitter part to control the sensor nodes and give alerts and send an SMS
message to the supervisor when smoke and flame are detected. Third an audio
processing agent for recording student’s attendance. The identity of a student is
verified by voiceprint by using the DTW algorithm, by comparing the voice signal of
the speaker with pre-stored voice signals in the database and extracting the main
features of the speaker voice signal using MFCC. Fourth, rationalizing electrical
consumption agent is implemented by embedding the electrical appliances such as
lights, air-conditioners, fans, and projectors in the laboratory with sensors for
reducing the energy consumption. The proposed system was tested based on actual
data sensed by sensors and the results showed that the proposed system works with
high efficiency.

Computer Laboratory used by IT student is using a manual process when logging-
in inside the Computer Laboratory to identify who enters and exit in the computer
laboratory. The Admin cannot monitor the in and out of person in the laboratory,
by this there is a tendency that any time any person can enter inside the laboratory
without any valid purpose why they enter the premises.
A computer laboratory usage policy defines when how and by whom
laboratory resources can be used. Its positive effect is that it creates a clear
situation by defining possibilities and boundaries. Elements of this rules collection
are stated in the policies and procedure manual. Providing the system in the CSS
laboratories will lighten the security and monitoring of activities inside the
laboratories.
The role of the user is to provide data for attendance logs-in order to access
the laboratory resources. Attendance logs are based on the information given by
the face recognition data. The system will checked if the students is currently
enrolled in computer laboratory, if enrolled the system will checked the schedule
of the student if it coincides with the time of laboratory. Once it is authentication
as a registration. Unregistered user information such as ID number will be denied
by the system if the student is not enrolled or not yet on the scheduled time of the
class the student was still allowed to seat in and use the resources inside the
laboratory.
