Abstract
Computerised recognition of faces and facial expressions would be
useful for human-computer interface, and provision for facial animation
is to be included in the ISO standard MPEG-4 by 1999. This could also be
used for face image compression. The technology could be used for
personal identification, and would be proof against fraud. Degrees of
difference between people are discussed, with particular regard to
identical twins. A particularly good feature for personal identification
is the texture of the iris. A problem is that there is more difference
between images of the same face with, e.g., different expression or
illumination, than there sometimes is between images of different faces.
Face recognition by the brain is discussed
