This paper aims to achieve the best color face recognition performance. The newly introduced feature selection method takes advantage of novel learning which is used to find the optimal set of color-component features for the purpose of achieving the best face recognition result. The proposed color face recognition method consists of two parts namely color-component feature selection with boosting and color face recognition solution using selected color component features. This method is better than existing color face recognition methods with illumination, pose variation and low resolution face images. This system is based on the selection of the best color component features from various color models using the novel boosting learning framework. These selected color component features are then combined into a single concatenated color feature using weighted feature fusion. The effectiveness of color face recognition method has been successfully evaluated by the public face databases.

Face recognition and authentication are two significant and dynamic research issues in computer vision applications. There are many factors that should be accounted for face recognition; among them pose variation is a major challenge which severely influence in the performance of face recognition. In order to improve the performance, several research methods have been developed to perform the face recognition process with pose invariant conditions in constrained and unconstrained environments. In this paper, the authors analyzed the performance of a popular texture descriptors viz., Local Binary Pattern, Local Derivative Pattern and Histograms of Oriented Gradients for pose invariant problem. State of the art preprocessing techniques such as Discrete Cosine Transform, Difference of Gaussian, Multi Scale Retinex and Gradient face have also been applied before feature extraction. In the recognition phase K- nearest neighbor classifier is used to accomplish the classification task. To evaluate the efficiency of pose invariant face recognition algorithm three publicly available databases viz. UMIST, ORL and LFW datasets have been used. The above said databases have very wide pose variations and it is proved that the state of the art method is efficient only in constrained situations.

Face Recognition is an efficient technique and one of the most liked biometric software application for the identification and verification of specific individual in a digital image by analysing and comparing patterns. This paper presents a survey on well-known techniques of face recognition. The primary goal of this review is to observe the performance of different face recognition algorithms such as SVM (Support Vector Machine), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), Eigenface based algorithm, Gabor Wavelet, PCA (Principle Component Analysis) and HMM (Hidden Markov Model). It presents comparative analysis about the efficiency of each algorithm. This paper also figure out about various face recognition applications used in real world and face recognition challenges like Illumination Variation, Pose Variation, Occlusion, Expressions Variation, Low Resolution and Ageing in brief. Another interesting component covered in this paper is review of datasets available for face recognition. So, must needed survey of many recently introduced face recognition aspects and algorithms are presented.

The face mask is an essential sanitaryware in daily lives growing during the pandemic period and is a big threat to current face recognition systems. The masks destroy a lot of details in a large area of face and it makes it difficult to recognize them even for humans. The evaluation report shows the difficulty well when recognizing masked faces. Rapid development and breakthrough of deep learning in the recent past have witnessed most promising results from face recognition algorithms. But they fail to perform far from satisfactory levels in the unconstrained environment during the challenges such as varying lighting conditions, low resolution, facial expressions, pose variation and occlusions. Facial occlusions are considered one of the most intractable problems. Especially when the occlusion occupies a large region of the face because it destroys lots of official features.
