Design Of A Framework For Computer-Based Examination Invigilation Using Fingerprint And Iris Technologies
BABATUNDE IWASOKUN GABRIEL · i-manager’s Journal on Pattern Recognition · 2019
Computer-Based Examination (CBE) is a new paradigm in the assessment and measurement of knowledge and capabilities. It relies on computer and its associated technologies to provide solution to some of the problems inherent to human-based approaches to conduct examinations and invigilation. Such problems include connivance, impersonation, external sourcing, and peeking. This paper presents the design of a fingerprint and iris-based framework for CBE invigilation. The framework comprises of modules for CBE, e-invigilation, and control. The CBE module comprises of a network backbone, a server, and several workstations. The e-invigilation module is designed to use high definition iris scanners such as Iris Shield-USB MK and CMITech BMT series to capture the iris image of the candidates for processing while the control module will handle the tasks of fingerprint-based authentication of examinees, process monitoring, and relaying of situation reports.
