Abstract

This paper presents an automatic technique for detecting important facial
features’ points using a developed anthropometric face model. The facial
features’ points we work on are about the areas of mouth, nose, eyes and
eyebrows. The anthropometric means the scientific study of the measurements
and proportions of the human face. Several processes are performed in order
to recognize human personality authenticated or not, these processes are
beginning by capturing colored image using fixed digital camera and ending
by features isolated into separated sub images and the lengths and distances
among them representing authenticated persons information are stored into
database..
In authentication stage all the extracted features are compared with stored
authenticated facial features in the database, the person is authenticated if a
percentage of similarity equal to or greater than 78% is achieved.
