Abstract
Two of the most important aspects in the general research framework of face recognition by computer are addressed here: face and facial feature detection, and face recognition — or rather face comparison. The best reported results of the mug-shot face recognition problem are obtained with elastic matching using jets. In this approach, the overall face detection, facial feature localization, and face comparison is carried out in a single step. This paper describes our research progress towards a different approach for face recognition. On the one hand, we describe a visual learning technique and its application to face detection in complex background, and accurate facial feature detection/tracking. On the other hand, a fast algorithm for 2D-template matching is presented as well as its application to face recognition. Finally, we report an automatic, real-time face recognition system.
