OVERVIEW OF FACE RECOGNITION TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Humans are able to rapidly and accuratelyrecognize familiar faces and identities under widelyvarying and difficult viewing conditions, such asilluminations changing, occlusion, scaling or rotation.Motivated by its importance in human-to-humancommunication and leading to various applications, frombiometrics to human – computer interaction, the facerecognition task is a major issue in the Computer Visionfield and more. This paper presents a brief survey onstate-of-the art methods used to cope with thischallenging task.
