P U Anitha, K Manaswini, P Rajendhar, Md.Yakub Pasha, P Shashank

This paper presents the design and development of an Online Exam Fraud Detection System using machine learning and computer vision techniques to ensure fairness and integrity in digital examinations. The system is developed using Python and Streamlit, integrating YOLO-based object detection and MediaPipe facial landmark tracking to monitor student behavior in real time. It detects suspicious activities such as multiple faces, unauthorized devices, and abnormal head or eye movements. The system includes modules for authentication, fraud detection, and admin monitoring with real-time alerts and evidence storage. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed system improves accuracy, reduces manual invigilation effort, and provides a scalable solution for secure online assessments.
