2021

Results of the video surveillance system on the exam

On July 26, 2021, "Rostelecom" shared the results of the video surveillance system at the Unified State Exam (USE), which was held in 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation from May 31 to July 17, 2021. 109,859 cameras installed by the company in the classrooms of examination points (PE) provided uninterrupted online broadcasting of the main and additional USE periods.

To pass the exam in 2021, 56,641 audiences were involved in 5,213 PEs and 1,533 audiences of regional information processing centers (RCOIs), where admission, processing and verification of examination papers are carried out. Exams were also held in 75 PEs in foreign educational organizations based on embassies, consulates, military units in 56 countries around the world. CCTV covered 99% of audiences. In the most remote PEs located in hard-to-reach areas of the Russian Federation, 156 offline cameras were installed, the video from which was transmitted immediately after the end of the exam to the video surveillance portal smotriege.ru using special software. In total, thanks to Rostelecom's video surveillance system, 2,807,703 hours of broadcasts were received.

State certification was controlled by 15,841 online public observers: 4,578 federal and 11,263 regional. For the second year in a row, artificial intelligence also helped to monitor the progress of exams - a specially developed technology for analyzing behavior using a neural network. In 17 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, Rostelecom's decision in real time revealed suspicious activity in exams and transmitted information about violations to the observer's check, and then to the moderator's approval.

Rostelecom cameras are installed in over 69 thousand PE classrooms and 1.5 thousand audiences of regional information processing centers (RCOIs), where examination materials are received and processed, as well as work by experts from subject commissions. Video surveillance coverage will exceed 98% of audiences. All digital devices involved in the project provide the required viewing angle, support high video resolution and transmit high-quality sound.

The cameras installed in the classrooms are located so that the participants of the Unified State Exam, the place of printing, scanning and layout of examination materials fall into the review. Moreover, completed registration forms and answers do not fall into the field of view of digital devices. Personal data of participants in the Unified State Exam remain secret. The video surveillance system "Rostelecom" ensures objectivity and makes the process of passing the exam transparent.

Video from classrooms in online mode will be broadcast to the video surveillance portal "See the exam." In classrooms located in hard-to-reach areas of the Russian Federation, video recording will be conducted, which immediately after the end of the exam with the help of special software will get to the video surveillance portal. In addition, to improve reliability, writing will also be carried out to the hard disk or local memory card installed in each camera. The bandwidth of the portal is designed for simultaneous connection of at least 15 thousand users.

More than 10 thousand federal and regional online observers will monitor state certification in 2021. For the second year in a row, there will also be a technology for analyzing behavior using a neural network to identify violations during exams. The federal contract assumes that artificial intelligence will analyze an online video stream from more than 170 audiences daily, and offline archival videos from more than a thousand audiences. If suspicious activity is detected in the exam, the neural network will give a signal, the system will automatically form a "suspicion of violation" and the record will be checked by the observer from the required minute, and then - for approval by the moderator. Such multi-stage control allows you to reduce the number of online observers and make the exam process even more transparent.

"Since 2014, our company has been providing video surveillance during the exam. At the same time, we regularly improve our system, introduce new technologies, and create a comprehensive in-school infrastructure. This year, as part of the creation of a unified digital educational environment and the national program "Digital Economy," we launched a project to provide schools with wireless Internet access, equip video surveillance systems with analytics and image storage, as well as provide resources for our data centers. We also continue to train the machine vision system developed by Rostelecom. The violations recorded last year, both confirmed and unconfirmed, made it possible to significantly increase the accuracy of the neural network, "said Valery Ermakov, vice president for work with corporate and state segments of Rostelecom.

In 2021, Rostelecom's video surveillance system will also work at the GVE-11 for those graduates who do not plan to enter universities. They will pass two mandatory exams: Russian and mathematics. These exams will be held in the same PE classrooms as the exam, but on other days.

During the exams, Rostelecom specialists will monitor the operation of the video surveillance system around the clock, provide technical support for the online broadcast portal and protect it from DDoS attacks.

For full support of portal users, a free hotline in the "8-800" format has been organized. During the entire examination period, the company's specialists will advise employees of the Federal Testing Center and the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science, representatives of executive authorities, including ministers of education of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as accept applications for troubleshooting in the video surveillance system. The call center is ready to receive up to 2,000 calls per day. The timeout of the attendant's response will not exceed 30 seconds.

2020: Rostelecom's neural network revealed half of all violations on the exam

"Rostelecom" summed up the results of the video surveillance system at the Unified State Exam (USE), which was held in 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation from June 29 to August 8. Over 120 thousand cameras installed by the company provided uninterrupted online broadcasting of the main and additional periods of the Unified State Exam, Rostelecom reported on August 14, 2020.

To pass the exam in 2020, more than 60 thousand audiences were involved in more than 4.5 thousand examination points (PE). Exams were also held in 70 PEs in foreign educational organizations based on embassies, consulates, military units in 53 countries around the world. Video surveillance covered 96% of audiences. In the most remote PEs located in hard-to-reach areas of the Russian Federation (4% of audiences), a video recording was conducted, which immediately after the end of the exam was transmitted to the video surveillance portal smotriege.ru using special software. In total, thanks to Rostelecom's video surveillance system, 2,807,514 hours of broadcasts were received.

The state certification was monitored by 1,818 federal and 8,268 regional online observers. For the first time, artificial intelligence, a specially developed behavior analysis technology using a neural network, helped to monitor the progress of exams. Rostelecom's decision in real time revealed suspicious activity in exams. In online mode, artificial intelligence simultaneously "watched" a video stream from 146 audiences, and offline - archival videos. For comparison: one observer is able to follow a maximum of four audiences at the same time. Over the entire period of the Unified State Exam, the neural network processed 161,280 hours of video recordings from 23.5 thousand audiences (about 2,100 classrooms per exam day).

"An important innovation this year was a specially developed machine vision program, which in five regions analyzed behavior and made sure that the participants in the Unified State Exam did not write off. The pilot project showed good results - with the help of our smart system, more than half of all violations were revealed. In the future, we will improve the neural network and increase its accuracy using this year's data, "said Valery Ermakov, vice president for work with corporate and state segments of Rostelecom.

Technical support for the video surveillance portal and its protection against DDoS attacks was provided by the Rostelecom Contact Center operator platform in Chelyabinsk. During the exams, several minor DDoS attacks with a capacity of up to 10 Mbps were recorded, which did not affect the performance of the video surveillance portal. The total broadcast time on the smotriege.ru portal during the exams in 2020 was 15 days.

To support users of the Rostelecom portal, he organized a free hotline in the 8-800 code, which received 10,262 calls. The average waiting time for the operator to answer the phone was 13 seconds, for a conversation with the operator - 8 minutes 7 seconds. By e-mail, 2,295 requests were received, operators responded to requests within eight minutes.

Rostelecom's video surveillance system for the Unified State Exam is organized on the basis of protected optical communication channels. All videos of the Unified State Exam are stored in Rostelecom data centers, depending on the requirements of regional contracts. The maximum shelf life is until March 1, 2021.

2019

Rosobrnadzor: neural networks will monitor violations on the exam

At the end of December 2019, it became known that neural networks will be used to identify violators during the Unified State Exam (USE). The Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science (Rosobrnadzor) is introducing machine analysis technology for video broadcasts from classrooms, which will allow real-time detection of suspicious activity during student testing.

With the development of technologies such as neural networks, it became possible to identify violations by analyzing human behavior. In 2020, it is planned to use such a technology of "machine vision" on video recordings from several regions of the Russian Federation, - the agency "" quotes the head of Rosobrnadzor Sergei Kravtsov.Interfax

According to him, the neural network will analyze the video stream for something unusual - for example, it will "notice" if someone talks or gets out of place on the exam. The system, having registered a potential violation, will notify an online observer about this, who monitors the order on the exam. After that, an on-site check will be carried out.

It is assumed that artificial intelligence will help minimize budget spending on "live" observers at the exam. As an example, Sergei Kravtsov cited an exam in the Russian language, which is simultaneously taken to more than 50 thousand schools in the country. One person can follow four classrooms, so to control all schoolchildren, 12.5 thousand observers will be needed, who need to be trained and coordinated, he said.^[2]

Rosobrnadzor also intends to use a facial recognition system during the Unified State Exam to identify participants and prevent personality substitution. The technology in 2019 was successfully tested in Ingushetia, in 2020 the experiment is planned to be expanded to other regions of Russia, Kravtsov said.

Over the YeGE-2019, more than 4.5 million hours of broadcasts from video cameras were carried out

2017

Results: More than 3.6 million hours of video broadcasts from 116 thousand video cameras

Rostelecom provided uninterrupted video broadcasting of the entire YeGE-2017 period. It was carried out with more than 116 thousand video cameras installed in more than 59 thousand audiences throughout the country. For the first time, the level of online broadcasting from audiences in 52 constituent entities of the Russian Federation was 100%, which is 14 more subjects than in 2016, and in 29 constituent entities of the Russian Federation ranged from 80 to 99%.

The image from the video cameras was transmitted to the http://smotriege.ru portal, thanks to which public observers specially accredited by Rosobrnadzor monitored the progress of the exam. The total number of portal users exceeded 13 thousand, which is 2 times more than previous indicators. This fact is due to the fact that in 2017, situational centers created in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to monitor the transparency of exams became users of the portal.

The number of broadcasts from audiences this year compared to 2016 increased by 9% to more than 301 thousand. The total number of hours of broadcasts exceeded more than 3.6 million. Videos from the Unified State Exam will be available on the portal until October 31, 2017, and in 20% of subjects until March 1, 2018.

For the project, the company used its own network infrastructure throughout the country. Video servers were deployed in 7 Rostelecom data centers. The level of synchronization of video data in data centers in 2017 at the current time is 92%.

In 2017, Rostelecom developed a software solution for examination points (PE), which allows not only monitoring the performance of cameras and ensures the continuity of broadcasting to the smotriege.ru portal, but also allows you to view the "mark" about the violation and quickly check the fact of the violation directly in the classrooms where the exam is being passed. The new system provided the opportunity to work out potential violations recorded by online observers within 5-15 minutes.

For technical support of users of the Rostelecom portal, a hotline was opened in the 8-800 code, which worked 24/7 throughout the entire examination period. The maximum translation recovery time in the event of an interruption is only 15 minutes, which is an unprecedented hard time for troubleshooting.

The operators of the contact center provided more than 5 thousand consultations, which is comparable to the indicators of 2016.

Since 2017, Rostelecom has launched a second www.smotrioge.ru portal to monitor the progress of the main state exam (OGE). The total duration of the exam this year is 30 days, from May 29 to September 16, 2017, and taking into account the OGE, the total duration of exams will be 55 days from March to September.

Rostelecom year after year ensures the transparency of the USE, constantly refining the system for the convenience of users. So, in 2017, we developed a software solution that allows Rosobnadzor specialists to quickly check violations at examination points and on the portal www.smotriege.ru. In addition, this year Rostelecom provided video surveillance for the first time during mandatory state exams in Vologda, Lipetsk, Orenburg and the Republic of Tyva, and launched a separate portal for this - www.smotrioge.ru, which is the "younger brother" of the www.smotriege.ru site, "says Artemy Prokopenko, vice president of Rostelecom PJSC

.

We remind you that in the Sverdlovsk region, 1618 classrooms (including headquarters) were equipped with video surveillance cameras for YeGE-2017. Of these, 1,573 audiences broadcast the image online, and 45 audiences offline.

As a pilot project this year in the Sverdlovsk region, about 20 IP cameras were introduced in Yekaterinburg, Aramil, Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sredneuralsk, Irbit, Kamyshlov (Barannikova village), Novouralsk, Alapaevsk and other cities of the Sverdlovsk region.
