Face recognition has become one of the most significant research areas in image processing and computer vision, mainly due to its wide applications in security, identity verification, and human and machine interaction. In this study, FaceNet512 and YOLOv8 models are used to overcome the challenges in face recognition with a limited dataset, which is only one formal photo per individual. The application of image augmentation to the model achieved 90% accuracy and ROC curve of 0.82, while the model without augmentation achieved 89% accuracy and ROC curve of 0.79. FaceNet512 showed superiority in producing more accurate and detailed facial representations compared to other models, such as ArcFace and FaceNet, especially in handling minimal facial variations. Meanwhile, YOLOv8 provides efficient face detection across various lighting conditions and viewing angles. The main challenge in this research is the low quality of the original image, which can reduce the accuracy of face recognition. These results show the great potential of using deep learning-based face recognition systems in the real world, especially for automatic attendance applications in academic environments.
