Development and implementation of real time face recognition systems
Face plays a major role in defining one’s identity and emotions as well. We humans have a fantastic ability to recognise and differentiate hundreds of familiar faces even after years at a glance, despite of changes in lightning conditions, expressions, age or hairstyle. This ability of humans has motivated both philosophers and scientists to understand the encoding and decoding of faces in human brain. Face recognition has a variety of applications like criminal identification, security system, image and film processing, human machine interaction etc. Now-a-days, cameras come with built in functions for detecting faces and even expressions. Face detection is also required in film making for image enhancement applications. A lot of work has been done and is still in progress to approach this problem. Within today’s environment of increased importance of security and organization, identification and authentication methods have become significant in various areas
