In the era of digital transformation, institutions are increasingly adopting automation to enhance administrative efficiency, particularly in human resource management. At Tanggirejo Village Hall, a critically low employee attendance rate of 46.45% in January 2024 exposed the limitations of manual attendance systems, which are prone to errors and manipulation. This study proposes a face recognition-based attendance system utilizing OpenCV’s Haar Cascade Classifier for face detection and the Local Binary Pattern Histogram (LBPH) for face recognition. A total of 500 grayscale facial images from 10 employees were collected and processed to train and test the system. Evaluation using a Confusion Matrix revealed an accuracy of 72%, precision of 93%, and recall of 75%. While a 27% error rate was observed—primarily due to lighting inconsistencies and limited training data—the system performed reliably in real-time scenarios. The integration of these lightweight algorithms allows for fast and accurate identification, suitable for resource-constrained environments. This solution not only addresses the local attendance challenges but also presents a scalable, automated model that can be adopted by similar institutions seeking to improve productivity and operational transparency through real-time employee monitoring.
