Abstract

Humans detect and identify faces in a scene with little or no effort. However, building an automated system that accomplishes this task has proven to be very difficult. A robust automated system for face recognition would find many applications, such as criminal identification, and authentication in secure systems. This paper describes a system based on artificial neural nets that is capable of detecting a face from an arbitrary image in a robust manner. The system correctly classified 91% of the face images and 88% of the non-face images.
