Student Behavior Recognition in Classroom Based on Deep Learning

Abstract

With the widespread application of information technology in education, the real-time detection of student behavior in the classroom has become a key issue in improving teaching quality. This paper proposes a Student Behavior Detection (SBD) model that combines YOLOv5, the Contextual Attention (CA) mechanism and OpenPose, aiming to achieve efficient and accurate behavior recognition in complex classroom environments. By integrating YOLOv5 with the CA attention mechanism to enhance feature extraction capabilities, the model’s recognition performance in complex backgrounds, such as those with occlusion, is significantly improved. In addition, the feature map generated by the improved YOLOv5 is used to replace VGG-19 in OpenPose, which effectively improves the accuracy of student posture recognition. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves a maximum mAP of 82.1% in complex classroom environments, surpassing Faster R-CNN by 5.2 percentage points and YOLOv5 by 4.6 percentage points. Additionally, the F1 score and R value of this model exhibit clear advantages over the other two traditional methods. This model offers an effective solution for intelligent classroom behavior analysis and the optimization of educational management.
