Review on Different Face Recognition Techniques

2015

Abstract

FACE recognition is an important research problem in the field of Pattern Recognition. As one of the most successful applications of image analysis and understanding, face recognition has recently received significant attention, especially during the past several years. Even though current machine recognition systems have reached a certain level of maturity, their success is limited by the conditions imposed by many real applications. For example, recognition of face images acquired in an outdoor environment with changes in illumination and/or pose remains a largely unsolved problem. In other words, current systems are still far away from the capability of the human perception system. Human Face Recognition has become a potential method of biometric authentication because of its most non-intrusive and user-friendly nature. Automatic face recognition poses various challenges due to: (a) inherent variability of face due to age, gender and race; (b) different facial expressions and ori...
