- Abstract
Educational examinations are critical for national talent selection. In recent years, the number of examinees has surged due to growing demands for academic advancement, professional title evaluations, and occupational qualifications. This expansion brings new management challenges, as conventional cheating—such as note-smuggling, technical violations, forged IDs, and proxy test-taking—persists despite bans. Manual verification worsens these issues, being cumbersome, time-consuming, and prone to subjective bias. Thus, curbing cheating via effective means is urgent, and biometric technology (integrating facial recognition, behavior analysis, and gaze detection) offers a solution for an anti-cheating system. The biometric framework in this study has two key functions. First, facial recognition’s ultra-high-precision matching verifies examinees’ identities against ID data, eliminating identity fraud (e.g., forged documents, proxy tests) at the source. Second, integrated behavior recognition and gaze tracking capture body movements and eye trajectories, enabling real-time pre-alerts for in-exam cheating (e.g., whispering, furtive glances) and overcoming traditional proctoring’s latency. This research provides a rigorous theoretical basis for shifting exam administration from human-dominated to intelligent collaboration, plus feasibility analysis for technical deployment. Widespread use of this system will boost oversight precision and efficacy, safeguard exam fairness, strengthen the talent-selection mechanism’s credibility, and build a more standardized, trustworthy exam ecosystem.
