The Issue of Face Recognition

Recognizing the identities of people is a basic requirement for the establishment and maintenance of social act and communication and face recognition is an ability that humans develop and become very skilled as they grow up. Recognition has always been a very intriguing and highly researched topic and implies the tasks of identification or authentication. It is apparent that face recognition for human beings involves more than simple tasks of shape matching of features and face. Despite the fact that is not fully understood how humans recognise people what is known today is that they use a combination of identifiers such as height, voice and facial features.
