Abstract: There are many challenges associated with face recognition systems which make them a complex and difficult process. These factors include—pose variations, facial expressions, occlusion, age etc. These factors affect the face recognition systems and deteriorate their accuracy. The face recognition problem can be solved by using some statistical techniques such as PCA, ICA and LDA. Some feature based techniques—Elastic Bunch Graph Matching (EBGM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), etc. have also been used and implemented to solve the face recognition problem. In this paper an insight is provided into various techniques available for face recognition, and a method is proposed that provides an efficient and feasible solution for real-time face recognition system. The proposed method uses EBGM technique, which in turn uses facial features for the identification of the test images that may be captured from a live video. Experimental results show that by involving ANN, better matching results with EBGM were obtained. Moreover, for face recognition in live videos and under low illumination conditions, the proposed system works more efficiently and gives better matching results when compared with the other techniques.
