Recently face recognition is

attracting much attention in the society of network multimedia information access. Areas such as network security, content indexing and retrieval, benefits and from video face compression

A 5biometric system6 refers to the integrated hardware and software used to conduct biometric identification or verification.

Why we choose face recognition over other biometric? What are biometrics?
A biometric is a uni&ue, measurable characteristic of a human being that can be used to automatically recogni'e an individual or verify an individual-s measure identity. both .iometrics can and physiological the following 7.

"t can use your existing hardware infrastructure, existing camaras and image capture devices will work with no problems. %here are a number reasons to choose face recognition. %his includes

difficulty in transmitting all information simultaneously so we use a method called scanning. 2ere the conversion of optical information to electrical form and its transmission is carried out element by element one at a time in a se&uential manner to cover the entire image. A %3 camera converts optical information into electrical information, the amplitude of which varies in accordance with variation of brightness.

In'*t 'rocessing
A pre!processing module locates the eye position and takes care of the surrounding lighting condition and colour variance. $irst the presence of faces or face in a scene must be detected. >nce the face is detected, it must be locali'ed and normali'ation process may be re&uired to bring the dimensions of the live facial sample in alignment with the one on the template. $acial recognition software falls into a larger group of technologies known as biometrics. $acial recognition methods may vary, but they generally involve a series of steps that serve to capture, analy'e and compare your face to a database of stored images. 2ere is the basic process that is used by the $aceit system to capture and compare images1

like shape is detected.

A(ignment
>nce a face is detected, the system determines the head s position, si'e and pose. A face needs to be turned at least 9; degrees toward the camera for the system to register it.

Norma(i+ation
%he image of the head is scaled and rotated so that it can be registered and mapped into an appropriate si'e and pose. Normali'ation is performed regardless of the head s location and distance from the camera. ?ight does not impact the normali'ation process.

Re'resentation
%he system translates the facial data into a uni&ue code. %his coding process allows for easier

Detection
,hen the system is attached to a video surveillance system, the recognition software searches the field of view of a video camera for faces. "f there is a face in the view, it is detected within a fraction of a second. A multi!scale algorithm is used to search for faces in low resolution. /An algorithm is a program that provides a set of instructions to accomplish a specific task0. %he system switches to a

comparison of the newly ac&uired facial data to stored facial data.

!atching
%he newly ac&uired facial data is compared to the stored data and /ideally0 linked to at least one stored facial representation. %he heart of the $ace"t facial recognition system is the ?ocal $eature Analysis /?$A0 algorithm. %his is the mathematical techni&ue the

system uses to encode faces. %he system maps the face and creates a faceprint, a uni&ue numerical code for that face. >nce the system has stored a faceprint, it can compare it to the thousands or millions of @:!byte file. faceprints stored in a +sing facial recognition

someone s face from the rest of the scene and compare it to a database full of stored images. "n order for this software to work, it has to know what a basic face looks like. $acial recognition software is based on the ability to first recogni'e faces, which is a technological feat in itself and then measure the various features of each face. "f you look at the mirror, you can see that your face has certain distinguishable landmarks. %hese are the peaks and valleys that make up the different facial features. 3isionics defines these landmarks as nodal points. %here are about @D nodal points on a

human face. 2ere are few nodal points that are measured by the software. distance between the eyes width of the nose depth of the eye socket cheekbones Aaw line chin %hese nodal points are measured to create a numerical code, a string of numbers that represents a face in the database. %his code is called faceprint. >nly 7: to 88 nodal points are needed for faceit software to complete the recognition process.
