The face has a significant role in social interaction, conveying the identity, expressing emotions and gender recognition etc. The ability of humans in recognizing a face is noteworthy as faces contains important information which helps to differentiate them from one another, therefore humans are able to recognize a large number of faces which they have learned during their life and recognize well-known faces at a quick look even after several years. Face recognition can be defined as the process of scanning a person’s face, then matching that face image with a collection of database i.e. known face images. In this Recognition Process, a new input face image is compared with the face models already stored in a Library and then it is classified …show more content…

Some of the biometric methods used for identification purpose are voice, retina, DNA, iris, hand geometry, odor, fingerprint, hand thermo-gram, Palm-print and the most common and feasible method i.e. Face recognition. Each biometric technique used for identification has its advantages and its limitations, such as price, flexibility, system reliability and the most important the need to be physically in touch with the Face Recognition device used for scanning, so when developing a system for biometric identification these limitations must also be …show more content…

Consequently, state of the art techniques and methods have been brought into practice which makes use of range images i.e. which gives 3D data that helps in overcoming challenges of pose and illumination with conventional face recognition based on 2D information. The major drawback of using approaches based on 3D model is that, independent from what model (architecture) does they make Use of, their high computational load of fitting procedure i.e. from intensity image towards generic 3D model with an accurate method that may not degrade (lower) the results of recognition. Consequently, In Section 2.3 there is a discussion on a new 2D-3D structure of face recognition that can be predicted as the gap between pure 3D and pure 2D face recognition techniques. 2.2.1 3D face Recognition and Challenges • Three-dimensional geometry of a human face is utilized for recognition. • A 3D Face model contains almost all information regarding human face
