Abstract: Face recognition has become a common thing used in the field of surveillance and security in computer technology and image devices. This study aims to identify the usefulness of a person's face on 3 test images. This study&#8230; dy examines the methods of cropping techniques, image enhancement through intensity measurement, and histogram analysis to improve the contrast and distribution of image intensity. In addition, the Viola-Jones algorithm is used to detect key facial features such as eyes, nose, and mouth. The results of the analysis are then applied in the feature evaluation stage, where usually between facial features are applied to measure the ratio of facial proportions. Furthermore, the comparison of proportional ratios of several images was analyzed using bar graphs and line graphs to evaluate the trend and stability of facial proportions. The results showed the best ratio stability with a smaller variation of the on-off ratio of image 2 which is 0.4762 pixels to 0.4983 pixels. Image 2 is the most ideal for face measurement systems based on geometric ratios because it provides more consistent and visible results.

Abstract: Abstract: Clustering methods such as K-Means and K-Medoids are often used to analyze data, including student data, due to their efficiency. However, this method has weaknesses, such as sensitivity to selecting cluster centers&#8230; nters (centroids) and cluster results that depend on medoid data. Clustering, an essential technique in data analysis, aims to reveal the natural structure of the data, even in the absence of labeled information. The study, conducted with complete objectivity, compared the performance of two popular clustering methods, K-Means, and K-Medoids, on student data. Three evaluation metrics, namely the Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI), silhouette score, and elbow method, were used to compare clustering and determine the ideal number of clusters for the two algorithms. The data taken in this study are in the form of names, attendance, assignments, formative, midterm exams, final exams, and quality numbers. Based on the existing optimization results, it can be concluded that the K-Means method excels in grouping Student Data. The best results were obtained from the K-Means Algorithm with the Silhouette Coefficient Method with a value of 0.7509 in cluster 2, and the Elbow Method with a value of 1428076.08 in cluster 2, DBI K-Medoids with a value of 0.7413 in cluster 3. So, the best cluster lies in 3 clusters.             Keywords: clustering; davies-bouldin indek; elbow method; k-means; k-medoids; silhouette score;     Abstrak : Metode clustering seperti K-Means dan K-Medoids sering digunakan untuk menganalisis data, termasuk data siswa, karena efisiensinya.
