ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for recognizing and searching for a face using 2nd-order independent component analysis (ICA) are provided. The method for describing feature points uses 2nd-order ICA d to describe a facial image space and improve recognition performance in various illumination conditions. According to the method and apparatus, use of pose or illumination invariant face descriptor enables retrieval of human faces and authentication of a specific individual.
