RECOGNITION OF HUMAN FACES BASED ON POPULATION VERIFIED REPRODUCIBLE MEASUREMENTS BETWEEN FACIAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL LANDMARKS ON 2 DIMENSIONAL OR 3 DIMENSIONAL HUMAN PHOTOGRAPHS

摘要

A method of facial recognition has been developed by the application of a statistical method, standard deviations or standard errors versus sample number plots, to differentiate the degree of reproducibilities of various measurements between facial anthropological landmarks in individual ethnic groups. Reproducible measurements between facial anthropological landmarks in a particular ethnic group mean they are common features shared by individuals of that ethnic group. Non-reproducible measurements are unique features of each individual in that ethnic group which may be used for individual facial recognition purposes. Such methodology may be computerised for automatic facial recognition. Big data of each ethnic group are needed for facial recognition. In turn, the development of data bases of each ethnic group will result in big data of human faces.
