Facial recognition technology used to monitor student attendance in Chinese universities

Two Chinese universities, Henan University of Technology in Henan province and Minjiang University in Fujian province, have adopted facial recognition technology as the method of choice for monitoring student attendance and preventing students from registering other classmates on their behalf, a news report has been able to reveal.

After Henan University of Technology’s School of Journalism and Communications installed the system in its classrooms, it registered a 100% student attendance.

Li Hongguang, the university professor who decided to deploy the system, said it was set up for two voice-training classes in the morning. Minjiang University’s music program has also been using the system as of last September, according to teacher Wang Haiyan.

There has been mixed feedback regarding the facial recognition technology, with some students approving of the system while others are concerned that registering students for large classes will take too much time.

Tensor – your first choice for implementing facial recognition technologies

Tensor has an extensive experience in installing CCTV systems and commissioning comprehensive video management solutions for large multi-site facilities. Our expertise and technical know-how enables us to easily integrate video surveillance into other security systems including ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), Access Control and Facial Recognition to name a few, in order to enhance and improve the security and efficiency at your site.

Tensor face biometrics are used to identify users from access control lists and verify their identity. Our access control solutionfacilitates user management at runtime and allows users to be enrolled on-the-fly by video capture.

This technology yields excellent performance despite partial occlusions of the face, the use of glasses, scarves or caps, changes of facial expression, and moderate rotations of the face. Moreover, it does not allow users to be impersonated using photographs. Tensor biometric technology is the perfect solution to control the access of personnel to restricted security areas.
