Face Recognition by Computer

We describe a coding scheme to index face images for subsequent retrieval, which seems effective, under some conditions, at coding the faces themselves, rather than particular face images, and uses typically 100 bytes. We report tests searching a pool of 100 faces, using as cue a different image of a face in the pool, taken 10 years later. In two of three tests with different faces, the target face best matches the corresponding cue.
