AB - Biometric recognition system refers to the automatic recognition of human beings based on their physiological and/or behavioral characteristics. First, a general Automatic Face Recognition (AFR) system framework is proposed to illustrate the processing stages of face images. The AFR includes two main phases: the enrolment phase and recognition/verification phase. Secondly, the main methods of human face recognition are presented, described and compared Different popular and modern algorithms that have been applied on living persons to verify or recognize the identity based on his/her physiological characteristic are reviewed in this paper. Also, recent face dataset is tabulated to assist the researchers how to find proper database in then-applications.
