Abstract

This research features an automatic face detection and recognition system. The purpose of the system is for access control to a building or an office. The main feature of the system is face detection and face recognition robust to illumination changes. A novel template matching technique using multiple mean faces (MMF) of various sizes, luminance, and rotations is employed to achieve robust face detection. The system is also capable of operating in two different modes for face recognition: under normal illumination condition and under severe illumination changes
