Abstract

A method for recognizing a face in an image is performed by a facial recognition system. The system retrieves an image and detects a face within the image. The system then determines a set of facial feature positions for a set of facial features. The set of facial feature positions are used to separate the face into a set of facial feature parts. For each part, the system extracts a set of image features. The extracted features are concatenated into a full feature. The system performs dimension reduction on the full feature to derive a final feature. In addition, although narrow claims may be presented below, it should be recognized that the scope of this invention is much broader than presented by the claim(s). It is intended that broader claims will be submitted in one or more applications that claim the benefit of priority from this application. Insofar as the description above and the accompanying drawings disclose additional subject matter that is not within the scope of the claim or claims below, the additional inventions are not dedicated to the public and the right to file one or more applications to claim such additional inventions is reserved.
