Tourism is important in economic growth and regional development, especially in East Java Province with diverse tourist attractions. However, the mapping of domestic and foreign tourist visit patterns in this province is still limited. For this reason, this study uses the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) method which can group density-based data without determining the number of clusters from the beginning and handle noise. The study aims to map districts/cities in East Java based on the number of tourist visits from 2018 to 2022, using visit data from the East Java Provincial Culture and Tourism Office. The analysis results show that in domestic tourist data, with parameters MinPts = 3 and ε = 1.00, one main cluster is formed consisting of 31 tourist locations and 7 noisy locations. In foreign tourist data, with ε = 0.6 and MinPts = 3, there is one cluster with 30 tourist locations and 8 other locations are categorized as noisy. Noisy locations tend to have higher visits but do not fit into the main cluster. These findings provide important insights for more targeted tourism promotion strategies and efficient resource allocation in East Java.

2025-01-23T10:04:44+00:00

This research analyzes password strength based on its length and complexity using brute force attack simulations. The study begins with collecting password data from various sources to ensure sufficient variation in complexity levels. Next, the passwords are evaluated using the Zxcvbn algorithm, which provides a strength score as well as information about the time required to crack them. The same passwords are also evaluated using Brute-force Time Estimation to calculate the estimated time required to crack the password. After both algorithms have been evaluated, the results are analyzed to find the correlation between the Zxcvbn score and the estimated brute force time. The results of the data analysis are then visualized in the form of graphs or diagrams to facilitate understanding and assessment of password security. This simulation estimates the time required to guess a password, depending on the level of password complexity. Although the simulation results show that long and complex passwords are more secure, the actual strength of the password is highly dependent on the tools used by the attacker. In addition, digital security is not only limited to passwords, but also depends on various loopholes that can be exploited, such as personal data leaks or software vulnerabilities. Therefore, a comprehensive security approach is essential to protect users from potential cyberattacks. This study aims to provide in-depth insights into the strength and vulnerability of passwords and the effectiveness of algorithms in assessing password security.

This study aims to develop a classification system for traditional Lombok songket fabric patterns using the ResNet50V2 architecture, optimized through fine-tuning and the AdamW optimizer. The data were collected directly from songket artisans in Lombok and categorized into three groups based on the origin of the patterns: Sade, Sukarara, and Pringgasela. The model was trained with data augmentation techniques, including rotation, shifting, and zooming, to increase data diversity. During the training process, fine-tuning was applied to the last layer of ResNet50V2, and optimization was performed using AdamW with a learning rate of 0.0001. The model was evaluated using a confusion matrix, classification report, and analysis of accuracy and loss. The experimental results showed that the model achieved 100% accuracy at the 15th epoch. Furthermore, experiments with different parameters (epochs, batch size, and learning rate) demonstrated that the 15th epoch provided the best results with 100% accuracy, while using higher epochs (30 and 40) did not necessarily yield better outcomes. This model is effective in identifying songket fabric patterns with good classification results for each class. Although the results are excellent, increasing the dataset size and exploring more complex model architectures could further enhance performance. Overall, this study demonstrates the significant potential of deep learning technology in classifying songket patterns with reliable accuracy in real-world applications.

Mataram University of Technology (UTM) still relies on a manual attendance process, such as signing paper-based attendance lists, which are prone to fraud and difficult to manage on a large scale. This study develops a face recognition-based attendance system using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which can automatically recognize visual patterns and unique facial features. CNN has advantages in extracting significant facial features, allowing it to recognize faces under various lighting conditions and viewing angles. The dataset used consists of 5,820 facial images from 97 students, with 60 augmented images per student. The results indicate that this system can be implemented in a lecture environment, achieving a validation accuracy of 98.5% at the 150th epoch. However, the model has some limitations, such as a relatively small dataset size and challenges in recognizing faces under extreme lighting conditions or unusual angles, which can affect accuracy in real-world applications. Additionally, although this system has the potential for real-time implementation, further optimization is required to ensure fast and accurate responses on a large scale. To overcome these limitations, future research can explore the use of direct camera input to enhance efficiency and user experience. Furthermore, improving dataset quality by incorporating variations in lighting and image angles, as well as exploring alternative deep learning architectures such as Vision Transformers (ViT) or Swin Transformer, can enhance model performance and generalization. By implementing these improvements, the facial recognition-based attendance system can be more optimal in enhancing accuracy and ease of use in academic environments.

2024-10-25T02:53:23+00:00

One significant technique in image processing is morphological image operations, which include methods such as opening and closing. This research explores the application of the opening and closing methods in improving the quality of banana images. The Opening process effectively reduces noise and eliminates small, unwanted details, improving the clarity of the image. However, the Closing process presents some challenges, particularly in altering the natural texture of the banana and blurring fine lines. Careful adjustments are necessary to avoid reducing the visual quality of the image. The study begins with pre-processing steps such as image cleaning and contrast adjustment to enhance the image clarity. The Opening operation, using mathematical morphology and a structural element, removes unwanted small elements from the image, making fine lines and textures more visible for further analysis. The Closing operation, applied after Opening, fills small gaps and connects separated parts of the banana image, restoring the original structure and maintaining image continuity. The combined application of opening and closing methods significantly enhances the quality of banana images by improving clarity, preserving structural integrity, and optimizing overall visual appearance.
