APLIKASI PENGENALAN WAJAH UNTUK ABSENSI PADA SMA DUA MEI CIPUTAT MENGGUNAKAN METODE HAAR-CASCADE CLASSIFIER BERBASIS WEBSITE

The attendance application is one important system that must be possessed by a school in order to manage student attendance data. Some schools still use manual methods for student attendance by using signatures or calling them one by one. Manual attendance is considered inefficient because the risk of losing attendance sheets is very easy and parents cannot monitor whether their child is attending school or not. This is directly felt by SMA Dua Mei Ciputat with the presence of students who left home but did not attend school. Therefore, this research aims to assist teachers and parents in monitoring students to be more disciplined in coming to school by building a face recognition application for attendance using the haar-cascade classifier method based on a website. The haar-cascade classifier method has the advantages of computation in face detection and the local binary pattern histogram algorithm which has good accuracy in face recognition. The results of this research show that the haar-cascade classifier method can be used to create a face recognition application for attendance with fairly good accuracy, namely 100% with 5 attempts with recognition of one face, 100% with 5 attempts with recognition of two faces, and 20% with 5 attempts with recognition of three faces. With these results, the application is only capable of recognizing two faces simultaneously in the attendance process.
