Face detection and face recognition are among the most important research topics in computer vision, as many applications use faces as objects of biometric technology. One of the main issues in applying face recognition is recording the attendance of active participants in a room. The challenge is that recognition through video with multiple object conditions in one frame may be difficult to perform. The Principal Component Analysis method is commonly used in face detection. Principal Component Analysis still has shortcomings: the accuracy decreases when it is applied to large datasets and performs slowly in real-time applications. Therefore, this study simulates a face recognition system installed in a room based on video recordings using Non-negative Matrix Factorization suppressed carrier and Local Non-negative Matrix Factorization methods. Data acquisition is obtained by capturing video in classrooms with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels in RGB, .avi format, video frame rate of 30 fps, and video duration of ±10 seconds. The proposed system can perform face recognition in which the average accuracy value of the Local Non-negative Matrix Factorization method is 71.61% with a computation time of 152,634 seconds. By contrast, the average accuracy value of the Non-negative Matrix Factorization suppressed carrier method is 86.76% with a computation time of 467,785 seconds. The proposed system is expected to be used for simultaneously finding and identifying faces in real time.
