Automatic recognition and verification of human faces is a significant problem in the development and application of Human Computer Interaction (HCI).In addition, the demand for reliable personal identification in computerized access control has resulted in an increased interest in biometrics to replace password and identification (ID) card. Over the last couple of years, face recognition researchers have been developing new techniques fuelled by the advances in computer vision techniques, Design of computers, sensors and in fast emerging face recognition systems. In this paper, a Face Recognition and Verification System has been designed which is robust to variations of illumination, pose and facial expression but very sensitive to variations of the features of the face. This design reckons in the holistic or global as well as the analyticor geometric features of the face of the human beings. The global structure of the human face is analysed by Principal Component Analysis while the features of the local structure are computed considering the geometric features of the face such as the eyes, nose and the mouth. The extracted local features of the face are trained and later tested using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). This combined approach of the global and the local structure of the face image is proved very effective in the system we have designed as it has a correct recognition rate of over 90%.
