Abstract

This research aims to develop artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in the context of facial recognition with a focus on increasing accuracy in difficult environmental conditions. Although facial recognition technology has made great progress, challenges such as poor lighting, variations in facial expressions, and head rotation are still problems that must be overcome. The research methodology involved collecting a wide dataset covering a wide variety of faces under various environmental conditions. This data is then processed and its features are extracted using computer image processing techniques. Furthermore, several deep neural network architectures, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), were developed, trained, and evaluated for face recognition tasks. The expected result is the development of an AI algorithm that is able to overcome challenges in facial recognition with higher accuracy than existing methods. In particular, significant improvements in facial recognition accuracy are expected especially under low lighting conditions and variations in facial expressions. This research has a major impact in a variety of security applications, such as border surveillance, building access control, and corporate security. With higher facial recognition accuracy, security risks can be significantly reduced, resulting in safer and more efficient security solutions. In conclusion, this research aims to bring innovation in facial recognition technology through advanced AI approaches, with the potential to improve security in various contexts.
