List of Figures<br />
1.1 Applications using face recognition technology: (a) <strong>and</strong> (b) automated<br />
video surveillance (downloaded from Visionics [1] <strong>and</strong> <strong>Face</strong>Snap [2],<br />
respectively); (c) <strong>and</strong> (d) access control (from Visionics [1] <strong>and</strong> from<br />
Viisage [3], respectively); (e) management of photo databases (from Viisage<br />
[3]); (f) multimedia communication (from Eyematic [4]). Images<br />
in this dissertation are presented in color. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3<br />

1.2 Comparison of various biometric features: (a) based on zephyr analysis<br />
(downloaded from [5]); (b) based on MRTD compatibility (from [6]). . 5<br />
1.3 Intra-subject variations in pose, illumination, expression, occlusion, accessories<br />
(e.g., glasses), color, <strong>and</strong> brightness. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6<br />
1.4 <strong>Face</strong> comparison: (a) face verification/authentication; (b) face identification/recognition.<br />
<strong>Face</strong> images are taken from the MSU face database [7]. 6<br />
1.5 Head recognition versus face recognition: (a) Clinton <strong>and</strong> Gore heads with<br />
the same internal facial features, adapted from [8]; (b) two faces of<br />
different subjects with the same internal facial components show the<br />
important role of hair <strong>and</strong> face outlines in human face recognition. . . 8<br />
1.6 Caricatures of (a) Vincent Van Gogh; (b) Jim Carrey; (c) Arnold<br />
Schwarzenegger; (d) Einstein; (e) G. W. Bush; <strong>and</strong> (f) Bill Gates.<br />
Images are downloaded from [9], [10] <strong>and</strong> [10]. Caricatures reveal the<br />
use of component weights in face identification. . . . . . . . . . . . . 9<br />
1.7 Cartoons reveal that humans can easily recognize characters whose facial<br />
components are depicted by simple line strokes <strong>and</strong> color characteristics:<br />
(a) <strong>and</strong> (b) are frames adapted from the movie Pocahontas; (c)<br />
<strong>and</strong> (d) are frames extracted from the movie Little Mermaid II. (Disney<br />
Enterprises, Inc.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9<br />
1.8 Configuration of facial components: (a) face image; (b) face image in (a)<br />
with enlarged eyebrow-to-eye <strong>and</strong> nose-to-mouth distances; (c) inverted<br />
face of the image in (b). A small change of component configuration<br />
results in a significantly different facial appearance in an upright face<br />
in (b); however, this change may not be perceived in an inverted face<br />
in (c). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10<br />
