Face recognition is a biometric tool for verification and authentication a facial recognition based verification system can further be deemed a computer application for automatically verifying or identifying a person in a digital image. Analytic (local features based) and holistic (global features based) are the two common approaches employed for face recognition approaches with acceptable succ...

This paper proposes a scale invariant face detection method which combines higher-order local autocorrela-tion (HLAC) features extracted from a log-polar transformed image with Linear Discriminant Analysis for \face" and \not face" classiication. Since HLAC features of log-polar image are sensitive to shifts of a face, we utilize this property and develop a face detection method. HLAC features ...

The occipital face area (OFA) and fusiform face area (FFA) are brain regions thought to be specialized for face perception. However, their intrinsic functional organization and status as cortical areas with well-defined boundaries remains unclear. Here we test these regions for "faciotopy", a particular hypothesis about their intrinsic functional organisation. A faciotopic area would contain a ...

This paper presents a new face identification system based on Graph Matching Technique on SIFT features extracted from face images. Although SIFT features have been successfully used for general object detection and recognition, only recently they were applied to face recognition. This paper further investigates the performance of identification techniques based on Graph matching topology drawn...
