LITERATURE SURVEY OF AUTOMATIC FACE RECOGNITION ...

CHAPTER VIII
FOR PROSPECTIVE RESEARCHERS
Automatic recognition is a vast and modern research area of computer
vision and Artificial intelligence, reaching from recognition of faces, facial
expressions analysis, facial geometry, building successful face model,
automatically detecting, locating and tracking faces, as well as extraction of face
orientation and facial features.
The problem of machine recognition of human faces continues to attract
researchers from disciplines such as image processing, pattern recognition,
neural networks, computer vision, computer graphics, and psychology.
This Research Front on Face Recognition from the field of Computer
Science was selected for mapping from the list of Top Topics for June 2008. The
map is a diagrammatic representation of the 33 core papers comprising the front
in Computer Science. Each circle represents a highly cited paper. The lines
between circles represent the strongest co­citation links for each paper that is,
indicating that the papers are frequently cited together. Papers close to each
other on the map are generally more highly co­cited. The most recent paper(s)
are indicated in dark.
