Abstract

Human face conveys more information about identification, expression, and emotions of a person. In today's world every individual in the society wants to be more secure from unauthorized authentication. In order to provide more security, “Facial Recognition” has come into the picture and lead a most challenging role of detecting the face with more accurate results without any false identities. To increase the efficiency of the face recognition, histogram based facial recognition is chosen, where a face region is fragmented into a number of regions and histogram values are extracted and they are linked together into a single vector. This vector is compared for the similarities between the facial images and provides a most efficient outcome.

Keywords
