Abstract
A face recognition method using artificial neural network and an apparatus thereof are provided. The apparatus comprises an eigenpaxel selection unit which generates eigenpaxels indicating characteristic patterns of a face and selects a predetermined number of eigenpaxels among the generated eigenpaxels; an eigenfiltering unit which filters an input image with the selected eigenpaxels; a predetermined number of neural networks, each of which corresponds to one of the selected eigenpaxels, receives an image signal which is filtered by the corresponding eigenpaxel, and output a face recognition result; and a determination unit which receives the recognition result from each of the neural networks and outputs a final face recognition result of the input image.
