1. INTRODUCTION
Using artificial intelligence, images, and videos are analyzed and extracted by computer vision, which
can help systems analyze and extract information. A machine’s artificial intelligence works the same way as
the human brain, and a computer’s vision functions the same way as the human eye. Since human monitoring
cannot reach a high level of safety and is insufficient, artificial intelligence is introduced in the analysis and
monitoring of video and cameras. Artificial intelligence analyzes video content by applying computer vision
and deep learning to various types of data. Through object detection, security solutions can be implemented
by identifying and detecting a variety of objects, as this technology is integral to detecting people and things in
videos and photos.
Surveillance cameras generate large amounts of video data, which over time becomes difficult to store
or analyze, so it is necessary to provide a large amount of space for storing video clips. In order to solve
this problem, the analysis and detection of objects to extract results will be the ideal solution since it reduces

storage requirements [1]. Moreover, image and video analyses provide security in several areas, since videos
and images are analyzed through the process of discovering different objects. Using this method can also help
track and detect important things in video clips or images so that we can predict occurrences of accidents, and
report some things, and issue alerts about suspicious behavior [2]. Besides the location, object detection also
determines the category of objects, such as humans, cars, mobiles, and pets, in an image or video. Object
detection technology is used in several areas, including robot vision, surveillance and security, autonomous
driving, and human-computer interaction [3].
Object detection algorithms combine image classification and object localization. A method of bound-
ing boxes and assigning category names to each box has been used here, allowing the identification of multiple
categories and the handling of objects that recur within the image [4]. The detection of objects began in the
year 2000 with the use of the method of identifying components. A major challenge in the progress of object
detection is that objects have multiple measurements and different sizes and aspect ratios. The detection of ob-
jects using deep learning began in 2014, when convolutional neural networks (CNN) technology was proposed
to detect objects. With deep learning, you can predict the location of an object with high accuracy using fast
and accurate algorithms. During the deep learning era, object detection algorithms were divided into two types
based on their stages: two-stage detection and one-stage detection [5].
The field of deep learning focuses on object detection as a branch of object recognition. There is
a difference between face detection and face recognition, as face detection considers the face an object that
belongs to a category, while face recognition identifies people in photographs and videos. Detecting a face is
the first step in the face recognition process. This consists of several stages, including discovery, alignment,
feature extraction, and finally identifying the person [6]. To put it another way, face recognition is completely
different from face detection. Face recognition involves entering an image and comparing it to all the images
in the database. If the image looks similar to an existing image, the face of the person will be recognized, and
his identity will be displayed as it appears in the database [7].
Several studies have focused on using deep learning techniques for object detection [8]-[11]. This field
has attracted the attention of the research community, and there is an opportunity to be exploited effectively
in this context. In this research, object identification technology has been combined with face recognition
technology. The you only look once (YOLO) v5 model is used to detect the object, while the Siamese network
recognizes the face. A monitoring system is proposed to detect cheating during exams. This system consists
of two stages: the first stage is identifying the student who has a cheating tool through the YOLO v5 model,
and the second stage is identifying the student, i.e., face recognition by comparing the student’s face image
with an image of the same student from a database that contains a set of pictures of students. Exams are
monitored by human invigilators in universities. Several studies have shown that cheating using electronic
tools such as cell phones poses a threat to education systems. Similarly, cheating in exams increased after
the e-learning revolution during the COVID-19, as electronic educational materials became more accessible to
students. The main objectives of this study are summarized by: developing electronic monitoring/invigilation
methods through artificial intelligence and deep learning, enhancing examination invigilation, assisting and
improving human monitoring, reducing cheating risks in universities, and tracking and identifying students
who cheat.

2. BACKGROUND
2.1. Artificial intelligence and object detection
The process of object detection is one of the computer vision object detection algorithms and a field of
artificial intelligence that allows surveillance systems to detect the content of images and video clips [12]. Deep
learning is a model of machine learning, and it is a sub-field of artificial intelligence. Because modern science
analyzes and processes large amounts of data, deep learning algorithms based on artificial neural networks
(ANNs) are preferable for analyzing and processing large amounts of data [13].
Deep learning models can both classify a large amount of data and deeply-learn the features contained
within the data using multilayer CNN. These data and features are extracted and used in image-based automated
diagnosis in various fields. Data sets containing training images can be entered into a deep learning system,
which results in automatic relearning without manual intervention [14]. Deep learning systems have contributed
to advancements in the field of object detection since deep neural networks are capable of learning different
features automatically. According to several studies, object detection technology based on deep learning is

superior to traditional hand-crafted features in terms of accuracy [15].

2.2. Object detection and deep learning algorithms

Traditional object detection algorithms consist of two parts: the first part extracts features and the
second part classes them, and there are four main models (Haar feature, Adaboost algorithm, Hog feature,
support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, deformable part model (DPM) algorithm) [16]. Object detection
algorithms that utilize deep learning are categorized into three types: CNNs, recurrent neural networks (RNNs),
and deep belief networks (DBNs) [17]. Compared to traditional methods of object detection, deep convolutional
neural networks (DCNN) have developed rapidly in the field of object detection as they can learn image features
using deep learning. There are two types of object detection algorithms in deep learning: algorithms based on
handcrafted features and algorithms based on deep learning.
Object detection algorithms are important in artificial intelligence and computer vision, allowing com-
puters to see their environments by detecting objects in images and videos [18], [19]. Object detection in deep
learning requires training and testing of the input data, since these models require powerful computational re-
sources and large datasets. Through the application and training of global data (PASCAL, ILSVRC, VOC, and
MS-COCO), deep learning can achieve high results in object detection. Deep learning algorithms for detecting
objects can be divided into two parts: the two-stage section (Fast region-based convolutional neural network
(Fast R-CNN), region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN)) and the single-stage section (YOLO fam-
ily series, single shot multibox detector (SSD)).
The two-stage algorithms consist of two stages, where the first stage is extracting the region of interest
(ROI), and the second stage is classifying and identifying the ROI. Examples of which are Faster region-based
convolutional neural network (Faster R-CNN), feature pyramid networks Faster R-CNN (FPN-FRCN), and
region-based fully convolutional networks (R-FCN) [20]. The single-stage object detection algorithm performs
its role in only one stage, as it skips the first stage, proposing the region; instead, it proposes regions and
classification at the same time in one stage because it deals with CNN through bounding boxes and classifying
objects [21].

2.3. YOLO algorithm

YOLO is based on the detection of objects in real time using neural networks. It’s one of the most
popular algorithms and is known for its speed and accuracy [22]. YOLO is similar to a fully convolutional
neural network (FCNN), which extracts results and predictions from an image (N N) once. The idea of its
work is based on dividing the image into a grid (M * M), and each grid produces two bounding boxes and the
possibility of a category in the bounding boxes [23]. As opposed to previous algorithms, YOLO uses regression
to identify the interesting parts of the image rather than identifying them. It can extract all the categories and
bounding boxes from an image at once, which is why it is called YOLO [24]. It was released in 2015 by
Redmon et al., and several versions of YOLO have been developed since then, including YOLO v1 and v2, 3
in YOLO v5 [25].

2.3.1. Model YOLO v5

YOLO’s fifth version was developed by ultralytics, and it is considered a family of one-stage algo-
rithms because it is superior to previous versions in detecting objects [26]. With the YOLO v5 model, object
detection is achieved using an algorithm optimization strategy using CNN, such as auto-learning, bounding box
anchors, mosaic data augmentation, and the cross-stage partial network [27]. There are several types of YOLO
v5 based on the size of memory storage, from YOLO v5s to YOLO v5m and YOLO v5l to YOLO v5x, all of
which follow the same principles and architecture [28]. Like other models of the YOLO family, the YOLO5
works by identifying the object in images and videos, as its components are similar to those of the YOLO4.
There are three main parts of the YOLO5 architecture, namely the backbone, the neck, and the main part head.
– Backbone: A function of this part is to extract features and rich information from the images that are
entered into the processing. In this case, the cross stage partial network (CSP) strategy is used to di-
vide the feature map in the base layer into two parts and then combine them through the processing
stages using a division merging strategy [29]. By using this strategy, the staging can flow through the
network. There are three layers in the backbone: convolution-batchNormalization-SiLU (CBS), three
convolutional modules (C3), and spatial pyramid pooling fast (SPPF). The CBS module includes three
layers: convolution, batch normalization, and silu activation. As for the C3 unit, it is composed of CBS

Int J Artif Intell, Vol. 13, No. 4, December 2024: 3920–3929

Int J Artif Intell ISSN: 2252-8938 ❒ 3923

units. SPPF is used to change the size of feature maps by combining the output of different aggregation
layers [30].
– The neck: It uses PANet to generate and create distinctive pyramids. By combining feature pyramid
networks (FPN) and pyramid attention network (PAN), these pyramids can detect objects of different
sizes and scales. It consists of four communication layers, four wrapping layers, and five layers [31].
– The head: It is considered the final stage. YOLO v5 has the same header structure as YOLOv3 and
YOLOv4. It consists of three convolutional layers that predict the location of bounding boxes. This part
generates predictions based on the connecting boxes in order to discover the object. Connecting boxes
are used to extract the final output from the feature maps, classification of categories, object degrees, and
bounding boxes [32].
Since several previous deep learning models for object detection have been studied, the YOLO v5
model was chosen to be applied in this study. Based on previous studies, the YOLO v5 model achieved
excellent results in object detection in images and videos, as well as excellent results in detecting small objects.
The programming was written and implemented by PyTorch framework instead of the Darknet framework,
which made it easier and faster to deal with data. For these reasons, the YOLO v5 model was chosen, in
addition to some other concepts that enhanced its performance, as we will see in the next section.
2.4. Objects detection and face recognition
A computer vision system analyzes images and video clips to extract information. Objects are de-
tected, and their location is identified by placing bounding boxes around these detected objects and then classi-
fying them into different categories [33]. Deep learning uses the detection of objects through a training model
on the input images, where the outputs are boxes surrounding the object that has been trained on. The model
can be trained using training tools or applications, such as Tensor Flow, PyTorch, or Keras [33]. These algo-
rithms use deep learning models to extract results in order to detect objects in images. Deep learning object
detection is a fast and effective way to detect objects and their location in an image [34].
The human face is regarded as an object in the process of object detecting, in other words, detecting
the human face in a photograph or video clip is regarded as identifying the human face as an object and not
as a person’s identity [35]. A facial recognition system can recognize a face in an image and identify it by
comparing it to a database of stored images [36]. Different algorithms and methods can be used to identify
faces in images, but in order to recognize faces in images, Siamese networks are used, which compare two
inputs of images in parallel to carry out the comparison process. As the Siamese network is comprised of two
neural networks that are identical to each other, it works in parallel to carry out the comparison process [37].
2.5. Siamese network
Siamese networks were proposed by Bromley at the start of the nineties as a way of verifying the
matching between two images. A Siamese network works by combining two similar networks with two inputs,
and it learns the extent of similarity in the data, as shown in Figure 1, and it can learn simultaneously [38].
Several operations rely on it, such as handwritten verification and face recognition by comparing the existing
image with previously stored images [39]. The mechanism of the Siamese network depends of calculating
similarity through binary entropy, variation function, or triple loss. It works on a binary classification of objects
entered in two similar or dissimilar states [40].

Figure 1. Siamese network architecture

As Siamese networks categorize input images according to their similarities, they are one-shot classifi-
cation models that are capable of prediction based on a single training example. It works by learning similarity
information between a pair of objects [41]. Learning occurs as a result of contrast loss. To get the advantage of

embedding the input image, the learning-based loss function is used during the training phase [42]. Loss func-
tions work on the basis of pairs of objects, not individual objects, in order to complete the comparison process.
The loss function causes the model to generate less similar feature embeddings if the classes are different, and
more comparable feature embeddings if the aim classes are the same. In mathematical terms, we express the
contrastive loss as (1):
1 1
Loss = (1 − y) ∗ (dw )2 + (y) ∗ {max(0, m − (dw )}2 (1)

3. PROPOSED APPROACH
This paper presents a model based on the YOLO v5 model as well as the Siamese network model, as
shown in Figure 2. The proposed model aims to detect cheating tools like cellular devices and books during
exams in the classroom so that invigilators can identify students who are cheating on exams. At the begin-
ning, a set consisting of 128 images (640*640 pixels) is entered into the YOLO v5 model, where the objects
on which the data was trained are detected, namely GT containing (a book, a cellular device, a person). The
YOLO v5 model detects images where a student has a cellular device or a book. In the event that the image
does not contain any of these, it will go out to the final stage. In the event that a cellular device object or a
book is detected in the image [Obj(GT ) ∈ (IM G(I))] the image moves to the second stage to identify the
student’s identity by recognizing the student’s face using the Semitic network. The first image is represented
in the Siamese network inputs [(Input(1) = Img + Obj(GT ))], the second image is the student’s image from
the student databases [(Input(2) = Img(St(i)) ∈) ∈ DB] where the two images are compared to find out the
identity of the student carrying a cellular device in the classroom during the exam.

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The study aims to identify students with cheating tools (a mobile device or a book) based on photos
and videos collected from surveillance cameras in the exam halls. A proposed model has been proposed based
on the integration of the YOLO v5 model to detect the object in the image with the Siamese neural network in
order to recognize the student’s face through training on the allocated data. Several steps are involved in the
experiment, as follows: preparing the environment, preparing a custom dataset, training the YOLO v5 object
detection model (cell phone and book), and obtaining the results by identifying the identity of the student who
cheats using the Siamese network.

4.1. Environment and data preparation for training the proposed model
Two data sets were used in this study. The first dataset group contains data (images) collected via
surveillance cameras located in the computer labs where the exams are held, as shown in Figure 3(a). The
target object was then detected using deep learning using the YOLO v5 model. The second dataset group is a
set of data groups that contains 2000 photos of students stored on the Microsoft cloud of the computer center
at Al-Balqa Applied University, which are used for comparison and identification of students, as shown in
Figure 3(b).

Figure 3. Two datasets were used in this study: (a) the first group contains control images and (b) the second
group is a database of students’ photos

4.2. Environment preparation

To train the data in YOLO v5, the data must be labeled (labeled data), but before we begin training
the data, we must prepare the special data set in order to create the data in YOLO v5 format. Using Roboflow
(Figure 4), we find generic computer vision datasets that can be manually annotated. We set up an account
on Roboflow using the email address ([email protected]) under the project name (Surveillance Systems in
Classroom during Exam YOLO v5). Based on our proposed model, in which we use artificial intelligence and
deep learning models. Regarding the required hardware and software environments for conducting this study,
on the one hand,the configuration of the software was: Model YOLO v5 is implemented using Python 3.9
and PyTorch 1.8.0 with some additional requirements, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV. CUDA, and
NumPy, # YOLO v5 requirements, and # pip install r requirements. txt. On the other hand, the configuration of
the hardware was: CPU: 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1255U Up 4.7 GHz, RAM: 12 GB, GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce
RTX™ 2050 (4 GB), GPU RAM: 12 GB, HD: 512 GB SSD, and the OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

4.3. Training the proposed model

This study proposes a model based on the integration of the YOLO v5 model and the Siamese neural
network, as shown in Figure 5. Training on the YOLO v5 model occurs on the first data set in order to identify
objects in the images (mobile or book). Following that, a Siamese neural network is trained to identify the
student. To train the Siamese neural network, two images must be entered, as the first image is the result of
training the YOLO v5 model after discovering the cell phone or book and the person. The second image may
represent the student database, which is the second group.

5. CONCLUSION
By combining artificial intelligence with computer vision, image processing is able to improve the
ability to recognize faces and objects based on an intelligent analysis of existing images, which leads to the
development of surveillance systems. The experience at university has convinced me that human invigilation
capabilities must be improved urgently. Additionally, people are unable to watch multiple screens at the same
time, and they cannot concentrate on the good shots in the video, so it is impossible to analyze the scenes
in the video as well. We propose a system that helps universities control exams and combat cheating. We
have therefore proposed a smart monitoring system based on deep learning algorithms (YOLO v5), that works
better with effective accuracy and faster detection speed than other algorithms for identifying cheating tools.
The YOLO v5 algorithm was trained on a set of photos and videos in order to discover cheating devices and
identify students who tried to cheat. Using the Siamese network, the student was identified by comparing their
photos with those in the university’s database. Using the proposed model experiment in this paper, we were
able to improve human observation and combat fraud cases. According to the results of the experiment, the
proposed integrated model detected cases of cheating and is considered a modern and new smart monitoring
technique that aids universities in combating cheating, a problem that exhausts university administrations when
it comes to monitoring examinations. A future goal of ours is to transform the monitoring/invigilation system
from a software application into a specialized device used in universities to monitor exams. We seek to develop
the proposed monitoring system to follow up and analyze the student’s movements and behaviors during the
exam. As a result, we will be able to extract reports showing the discipline of students and identify students
who attempted cheating.

6. CONTRIBUTIONS
The purpose of this research is to contribute to the inclusion of artificial intelligence and deep learning
in intelligent monitoring systems by developing a new model that integrates artificial intelligence and machine
learning with monitoring to provide security. As a result of the research, cheating during exams can be min-
imized by identifying cellular devices and identifying students. This strengthens systems for monitoring and
invigilating exams at universities and schools. We achieved our research goals by applying the model.
