Table 11. Comparative analysis of existing lecturer tracking approaches.

Technology Advantages Disadvantages
Multi camera (Taj & Cavallaro, 2011) Easy deployed on the indoor and outdoor localizations Multi-camera fusion requires post-processing
Panoramic camera (Sun et al., 2020) Convenient construction and low cost Image distortion needs to be corrected
WIFI-PDR Integrated Indoor Positioning (Li et al., 2016) Low cost, high positioning accuracy Need to collect offline WiFi information and non-real time
Camera, IR thermal sensors (Tan, Kuo & Liu, 2019) Low cost, real-time with good performance Difficult to deploy, thermal sensors are sensitive to temperature
Siamese Fully Convolutional Classification and Regression (Guo et al., 2020) Fast and accurate High requirements for equipment performance
PT Camera and smartphone (the proposed system) Portable, low-cost, strong robustness and easy to deploy Only single-face detection may lead to temporary tracking failure
