Evaluation of Online Teaching Quality Based on Facial Expression Recognition

Abstract

In 21st-century society, with the rapid development of information technology, the scientific and technological strength of all walks of life is increasing, and the field of education has also begun to introduce high and new technologies gradually. Affected by the epidemic, online teaching has been implemented all over the country, forming an education model of “dual integration” of online and offline teaching. However, the disadvantages of online teaching are also very obvious; that is, teachers cannot understand the students’ listening status in real-time. Therefore, our study adopts automatic face detection and expression recognition based on a deep learning framework and other related technologies to solve this problem, and it designs an analysis system of students’ class concentration based on expression recognition. The students’ class concentration analysis system can help teachers detect students’ class concentration and improve the efficiency of class evaluation. In this system, OpenCV is used to call the camera to collect the students’ listening status in real-time, and the MTCNN algorithm is used to detect the face of the video to frame the location of the student’s face image. Finally, the obtained face image is used for real-time expression recognition by using the VGG16 network added with ECANet, and the students’ emotions in class are obtained. The experimental results show that the method in our study can more accurately identify students’ emotions in class and carry out a teaching effect evaluation, which has certain application value in intelligent education fields, such as the smart classroom and distance learning. For example, a teaching evaluation module can be added to the teaching software, and teachers can know the listening emotions of each student in class while lecturing.
