FACE RECOGNITION
1. Literature Review
1.1 Introduction
The face recognition system is the technology that has the capability of verifying or
identifying any individual from his digital image or video frame from the video sources.
Various significant methodologies are present for face recognition system and they work by
proper comparison of the selected facial characteristics from the provided image with faces in
the database [4]. This facial recognition is even descried as the application of biometric
artificial intelligence, which comprises of the core capability of identifying an individual
uniquely after proper analysis of the patterns on the basis of the facial textures or the shapes
of that specific individual. It is considered as the basic form of computer application initially
and hence is being utilized widely in every other form of technology like robotics [11].
The face recognition system is utilized as the access control within the security
systems and could be compared to any other type of biometric system like fingerprint
recognition system and iris recognition system [8]. Since, the total accuracy of this particular
system as the biometric technology is lower than the iris recognition system or fingerprint
recognition system; this is being often widely adopted for the non-invasive as well as
contactless procedure. In recent studies, it has been observed that the facial recognition
system has become the most popular as well as commercial verification or marketing tool.
1.2 Applications of Face Recognition System
According to Han et al. [20], some of the most significant applications of this face
recognition system are video surveillance, advanced interaction between human and
computer, video databases, and automated indexing of the images and several others. All of
these above mentioned applications are extremely important and noteworthy for the users of
face recognition system. For the proper verification and identification of payment, the facial

biometrics could be integrated with all the physical devices or objects [10]. With the
subsequent utilization of passcodes, the mobile phones and other customer electronics could
be easily accessed with the facial features of the owners for making payments. Moreover,
criminal identification is also easier with this particular system. Other applications of face
recognition system mainly include advertising, health care and many others.

1.3 Techniques for Face Recognition System
Parkhi, Andrea and Andrew [2], state that the entire procedure of the face recognition
method could be performed in two distinct steps. The first and the foremost step of this
system includes the feature extraction as well as feature selection. The second step in this
system includes the proper classification of the objects. The recent developments have been
introduced by varying the technologies to this process of face recognition. Some of the major
and the most notable techniques of the face recognition system are as follows:
