Face

Face is one of the most acceptable biometrics, because it is one of the most common methods of identification that humans use in their visual interactions and acquisition of faces is non-intrusive. Face recongition is of concern in un-attended authentication applications. It is very challenging to develop face recognition techniques which can tolerate the effects of aging, facial expressions, slight variations in the imaging environment and variations in the pose of face with respect to camera (2D and 3D rotations).
