OMR marking machine is costly and limited to specific OMR paper design, thus launching researchers using image processing to find less costly solutions. However, studies so far have achieved relatively low accuracy and poor consistency unless a fixed OMR form design is used. Accuracy drops with more OMR questions. Therefore, this study investigate means to improve OMR marking accuracy using enhanced algorithm designed for OMR marking. The results were compared against manual marking as the control and existing image processing algorithms. The metrics used are F1 score and error percentage for accuracy of detected answer options and marking fault respectively. The result is encouraging with consistent full accuracy for up to 90 questions as compared to previous works. © 2021 IEEE. date: 2021 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85112443524&doi=10.1109%2fICCOINS49721.2021.9497172&partnerID=40&md5=82f79971b8497a00f3acd8fc8956dd4f id_number: 10.1109/ICCOINS49721.2021.9497172 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings - International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences: Sustaining Tomorrow with Digital Innovation, ICCOINS 2021 pagerange: 322-327 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781728171517 citation: Jingyi, T. and Hooi, Y.K. and Bin, O.K.
