Automatic recognition of human faces is a significant problem in the development and application of pattern recognition. In this paper, we introduce a simple technique for identification of human faces in cluttered scenes based on neural nets. In detection phase, neural nets are used to test whether a window of 18x27 pixels contains a face or not. A major difficulty in learning process comes from the large database required for face / nonface images. We solve this problem by dividing these data into two groups. Such division results in reduction of computational complexity and thus
