<![CDATA[Face recognition based on image data has been widely applied in automated attendance systems; however, it still faces challenges related to accuracy and efficiency under varying lighting conditions and facial pose variations. This study aims to compare the performance of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and You Only Look Once (YOLO) methods for face detection and recognition in a deep learning–based attendance system. The dataset consists of facial images collected from students in a limited campus environment with several variations in viewpoint and illumination. The research stages include image preprocessing, training of CNN and YOLO models, and performance evaluation using accuracy, precision, recall, and computation time metrics. The experimental results indicate that YOLO outperforms CNN in terms of detection speed and performance stability, while CNN demonstrates competitive classification performance on limited datasets. This study provides empirical insights into the characteristics of both methods in attendance system scenarios and can serve as a reference for selecting appropriate models for real-world implementation. The main limitations of this study are the dataset size and the restricted data acquisition scope.]]>
