An Attention-Enhanced Lightweight CNN Framework with MTCNN Detection and TripletEmbedding Recognition for Occlusion-Robust Automated Attendance from Surveillance Video
Manual and card/barcode-based attendance recording remains slow, error-prone, and vulnerable to proxy marking, motivating fully automated, camera-based alternatives for schools and organizations. This paper proposes an Attention-Enhanced Lightweight CNN framework that couples MTCNN multi-scale face detection with a CBA...
