Abstract Facial and ethnic recognition became a popular research topic. Different from face recognition, ethnic recognition classifies faces according to the general features of certain ethnic groups. Ethnic recognition in face image is increasingly becoming a necessity and is used in various fields. This paper proposed the Indonesian ethnic recognition system based on periorbital features on facial images. We use the five largest ethnic groups in Indonesia in this study, namely Banjar, Bugis, Javanese, Malay, and Sundanese. Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix and Color Histogram were used as methods, and Random Forest was used as a classifier. Based on - cross-validation tests with optimal k values, the model achieved 98.65% accuracy.
