In this paper, we propose a comparative evaluation for smart technologies of two state-of-the-art face detection models, YOLOv3 and InsightFace (SCRFD-10GF), within a classroom environment for real-time monitoring applications. The primary objective of this study is to assess and compare the models' detection accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency across various settings, including different camera positions and lighting conditions. We employ a dataset consisting of videos captured from three distinct classrooms—Lab 1, Lab 3, and Room 1—each presenting unique challenges such as obstructions (e.g., computers) and varying angles and lighting conditions. The study aims to address the challenge of comparing these models in real-world environments with demanding conditions. The results reveal that YOLOv3 consistently outperforms InsightFace in terms of confidence scores across all environments and camera positions. YOLOv3's superior architecture, featuring multi-scale detection and advanced feature extraction capabilities, enables it to maintain high accuracy and confidence, with an average confidence score reaching 0.83. InsightFace, though slightly less accurate, is advantageous in resource-constrained settings due to its lightweight architecture. The findings suggest that YOLOv3 is ideal for systems requiring high accuracy, while InsightFace is better suited for environments with limited computational resources. We conclude that a hybrid approach leveraging both models could offer a balanced solution tailored to specific requirements of educational environments.
