In this face recognition research, the head is fixed when a photograph is t
aken. The infrared diodes provide the only illumination. In front of the CC
D camera, a light filter lens is used to filter all other light. After the
photograph is taken, the eyebrows, eyes, nostrils, lips, and face contour a
re extracted separately. The shape, size, object-to-object distance, center
and orientation are found for each extracted object. The techniques to sol
ve the object shifting and rotating problems are investigated. Image subtra
ction is used to examine the geometric differences of the two different fac
es. The obtained classifying data in this research can accurately classify
different people's faces.
