The study presented aims to design and develop a face recognition system. The system utilized Viola Jones Algorithm in detecting faces from a given image. Also the system used Artificial Neural Networks in recognizing faces detected from the input. Upon experimentation the system generated can recognize human faces with accuracy of 87.05%. The system performs at its best if the person is around 150cm away from the camera with an accuracy rate of 87.59%. Also, the best amount of lighting for the recognition system is at 480 lumens with an accuracy rate of 88.64%. Lastly, the system also performs at its best if the person is directly facing the camera or at 0 degrees with respect to the camera.
