Abstract: Abstract: Face recognition based on deep learning has become an important technology in many areas. However, these systems often face challenges in real-world conditions, such as when the face is partially covered by accessories… essories such as masks or glasses. This study aims to evaluate the effect of data augmentation by adding facial accessories (masks, glasses, and a combination of both) and geometric augmentation on the accuracy of face recognition systems. There are three types of datasets used in this method: the original dataset (category 1), the dataset with facial accessories augmentation (category 2), and the dataset with geometric augmentation (category 3). Data augmentation was performed on the training dataset to increase diversity, followed by the face detection process using SCRFD and feature extraction with ArcFace. The model was then trained using Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). Based on the results, adding face accessories (category 2) made the model a lot more accurate, hitting 99% accuracy. In category 3, adding geometric features improved accuracy to 91%. Other evaluation metrics, such as precision, recall, and F1-score, also showed improvement after augmentation. This study concludes that facial accessories augmentation is more effective in improving the accuracy and robustness of face recognition models compared to geometric augmentation.
