Abstract
A person identifier and management system is described. The person identifier and management system includes a face image database that stores the face feature data of each of a number of face images and the person-identifying data associated with each of the face images. A camera is also included in the person identifier and management system for capturing an input face image. A face analysis system is then coupled to the camera and the image database to extract the face feature data of the input face image and to compare the face feature data of the input face image with that of each of the face images stored in the database such that the person-identifying data of any stored face image similar to the input face image can be retrieved from the image database. A method of retrieving person-identifying information of an input face image from a face image database is also described.
