Automatic recognition of people is a challenging problem. Whether there is<br />

any hope for face recognition is a burning question now. In a general context, the<br />

automatic face recognition in complex scenarios may remain unsolved for the<br />

next years. Almost in any face recognition application; a face detection stage is<br />

needed. Although face detection poses also a very challenging problem. At<br />

present Face recognition systems have problems recognizing differences in<br />

lighting, pose, facial expressions, and picture quality. So by applying some sort of<br />

robust processing technique can increase the success rate.<br />

When the scenario departs from the easy scenario, then face recognition<br />

approaches experience severe problems. Among the special challenges as for<br />

example: pose variation, illumination conditions, scale variability, images taken<br />

years apart, glasses, moustaches, beards, low quality image acquisition, partially<br />

occluded faces etc.<br />

However, much more effort should be put in knowing the HVS and its<br />

influence on face recognition. Although there has been a lot of work trying to<br />

understand the HVS, not enough cooperative research has been conducted<br />
