Biometric Face Recognition

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

• Capturing and processing video from a webcam
• Building a face detector using Haar cascades
• Building eye and nose detectors
• Performing principal component analysis
• Performing kernel principal component analysis
• Performing blind source separation
• Building a face recognizer using a local binary pattern histogram
• Recognizing faces using a HOG-based model
• Facial landmarks recognition
• User authentication by face recognition
