Face Recognition Through Geometrical Features

Abstract

Several different techniques have been proposed for computer recognition of human faces. This paper presents the first results of an ongoing project to compare several recognition strategies on a common database. A set of algorithms has been developed to assess the feasibility of recognition using a vector of geometrical features, such as nose width and length, mouth position and chin shape. The performance of a Nearest Neighbor classifier, with a suitably defined metric, is reported as a function of the number of classes to be discriminated (people to be recognized) and of the number of examples per class. Finally, performance of classification with rejection is investigated.
