Face Recognition: A Critical Look at Biologically-Inspired Approaches

Tech. Report, CMU-RI-TR-00-04, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, 2000

Abstract

This paper analyzes the merits of two biologically-inspired face recognition models, eigenfaces and graph-matching, in the context of related neurophysiological and psychophysical data. Given the ambiguity of current biological evidence, a more promising direction for future face recognition research is in the development of models that conform more closely to human perception of facial similarity.
