Abstract

Face recognition is one of the main challenges in the development of computer vision technology. This study aims to develop a face recognition system using a Faster R-CNN architecture, optimized through hyperparameter tuning. This research utilizes the "Face Recognition Dataset" from Kaggle, which comprises 2,564 face images across 31 classes. The development process involves creating bounding boxes using the LabelImg application and implementing the Grid Search method. The Grid Search is applied with predefined hyperparameter combinations (3 epochs [10, 25, and 50] × 3 learning rates [0.001, 0.0001, and 0.00001] × 3 optimizers [SGD, Adam, and RMS], resulting in 27 models). The evaluation metrics used were accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The experimental results show that the selection of hyperparameters significantly affects the model performance. Based on the experimental results, the combination of the learning rate 0.00001, 50 epochs, and Adam optimizer yielded the highest accuracy and improvement of 8.33% compared to the baseline model. The results indicate that hyperparameter optimization enhances the ability of the model to recognize faces. Compared to conventional models, a Faster R-CNN performs better in detecting faces more accurately. Future research could further enhance the face recognition efficiency and accuracy by exploring other deep learning architectures and more advanced hyperparameter optimization techniques.
