Face Recognition
摘要
The faceFaceanatomy is the frontal portion of the human head, extending from the forehead to the chin and includes the mouth, nose, cheeks, and eyes. Being the foremost part in one’s interactions with the outer world, the face houses most of the fundamental sensory organs necessary for perceiving the world around, namely, eyes for seeing, nose for smelling, mouth for tasting, and ears for hearing. The face is considered to be the most commonly used biometric trait by humans; we recognize each other and, in many cases, establish our identities based on faces. Hence, it has become a standard practice to incorporate face photographs in various tokens of authentication such as ID cards, passports, and driver’s licenses.
