Abstract
A facial image recognition system for a driver of a vehicle includes an image capturing unit, an image processing unit, and a warning unit. The image capturing unit is used for capturing facial images of the driver. The image processing unit is electrically coupled to the image capturing unit, has installed therein a facial frame selecting and position correcting method and an identification comparison algorithm, and receives the facial images of the driver from the image capturing unit. The warning unit is electrically coupled to the image processing unit, and emits a warning signal when the image processing unit determines that an identification of the driver has changed.
