Automatic Multiple Choice Examination Questions Marking and Grade Generator Software

Abstract

This paper discusses a feasible software solution that enables automatic marking and grading of scripts. Technology keeps expanding, and more advanced innovations are being implemented with time. The marking and allocation of grades for examination scripts through human efforts are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Hence, machines and software applications are introduced to make the entire marking and grading of examination scripts more efficient, fast, and less tedious. Computer vision is an artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge domain that ensures devices obtain useful information from digital images, videos, and other visual inputs. Image processing and recognition, a unique part of computer vision alongside the python programming language and the OpenCV library was employed for this project. These are the most used in developing most recent applications that utilize, to some extent, artificial intelligence to attain specific desired results. The result of the project seeks to develop a maintainable android software application that uses image processing technology to scan patterns or images and grades results of multiple-choice question scripts based on a set marking scheme. This ensures that desired results are obtained while increasing efficiency and productivity.
