A Review of Face Recognition Methods

Face recognition has become more significant and relevant in recent years owing to it potential applications. Since the faces are highly dynamic and pose more issues and challenges to solve, researchers in the domain of pattern recognition, computer vision and artificial intelligence have proposed many solutions to reduce such difficulties so as to improve the robustness and recognition accuracy. As many approaches have been proposed, efforts are also put in to provide an extensive survey of the methods developed over the years. The objective of this paper is to provide a survey of face recognition papers that appeared in the literature over the past decade under all severe conditions that were not discussed in the previous survey and to categorize them into meaningful approaches, viz. appearance based, feature based and soft computing based. A comparative study of merits and demerits of these approaches have been presented.
