Abstract:

A face recognition method applicable to attendance systems is proposed. Areas of a face image are first segmented from facial frontal and facial profile images that are dynamically captured with a camera. Effective geometric feature points extracted from the face regions are then used to construct feature vectors. These feature vectors are compared with the vector information in the card held by the subject. The algorithm is simple, and a high recognition rate has been achieved in the experiments.

Key words: face recognition, facial frontal and profile image, feature vector
