  • Patent number: 8842889
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for face recognition in digital images containing portraits or images of human faces. The facial images are detected and pupil coordinates are calculated. A facial image is converted into a black and white image. A rectangle containing the face is identified. Then, pupil coordinates are determined. A rectangle of a pre-defined size is cut out from the image so the pupils are located at pre-defined coordinates. External lighting effects are reduced and an image template is generated by calculating sets of values of different image points.
