This paper describes a system for face detection and recognition in an image sequence. Motion information is used to find the moving regions, and probable eye region blobs are extracted by thresholding the image. These blobs reduce the search space for face verification, which is done by template matching. Eigen analysis of edginess representation of face is used for face recognition. One dimensional processing is used to extract the edginess image of face. Experimental results for face detection show good performance even across orientation and pose variation to a certain extent. The face recognition is carried out by cumulatively summing up the Euclidean distance between the test face images and the stored database, which shows good discrimination for true and false subjects.
