Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a basic study on human face recognition. The ultimate objective of the study is to recognize human faces, three dimensional ever-changing patterns. Difficulties of human face recognition lie in the following two properties of human face as a pattern: (1) number of patterns, that is, faces to be classified is tremendous, maybe infinite; and (2) almost all patterns are very similar. Any normal face has two eyes, one nose, one mouth and two ears which are similarly located in a face. It goes without saying that the ability of identifying a person by his face is indispensable to any person in his daily life. A machine possessing this ability, if realizable, may be used as a guardman of private facilities, such as a factory, a parking place, or a nightclub. It will help police activities by finding the photograph of the corresponding suspect in a pile of photographs.
