Abstract

Facial recognition is an important application of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision in modern security systems, particularly for automated access control. This study aimed to implement and evaluate a Residual Network (ResNet)-based facial identification system for door access control applications. A publicly available facial image dataset was used and was divided into training (70%), validation (20%), and testing (10%) subsets. The proposed methodology consisted of data preprocessing, ResNet-based model training, and performance evaluation using accuracy and loss metrics. The model was trained for 10 epochs to assess its initial learning capability. The experimental results showed relatively low performance, with training accuracy ranging from 3.6% to 3.8% and validation accuracy of approximately 3.6%, while loss values remained high throughout the training process. These findings indicated that the model was unable to effectively learn discriminative facial features from the dataset and exhibited signs of underfitting. The limited performance was likely associated with insufficient dataset diversity, suboptimal preprocessing procedures, and non-optimized training parameters. The study highlighted the challenges of implementing ResNet-based facial recognition systems under constrained training conditions. Future work should focus on expanding the dataset, applying data augmentation techniques, optimizing hyperparameters, and utilizing pretrained models to improve recognition performance and system reliability.
