On October 10, 2001, the US President identified the most wanted persons sought by the United States of America. Agencies such as FBI, CIA and Homeland Security spread images of the most wanted persons across the United States. Even though US citizens saw their images on television, the Internet and posters, computers had, and still have for that matter, no ability at all to identify these persons. To date FBI, CIA and Homeland Security depend entirely on human beings, not computers, to identify persons at borders and international airports. In other words, facial recognition remains an incompetent technology. Accordingly, authors first succinctly show the weaknesses of the current facial recognition methodologies, namely Eigenface Technology, Local Feature Analysis (from the classical 7 point to the 32-50 blocks approach), the Scale-Space Approach, Morphological Operations and industrial or patented methodologies such as ILEFIS™, Viisage™, Visionics™ and Cognitec''s Face VACS-Logon™, Identix™ and Neven Vision™. Secondly, they introduce a completely new, simple and robust methodology called Innertron.
