Abstract: The invention provides a human face similarity recognition method and system, which relate to the field of computer technologies and are used for recognizing similar human face pictures accurately. The human face similarity recognition method comprises: generating a feature vector of a target human face picture according to features of the target human face picture; generating feature vectors of collected human face pictures according to features of the collected human face pictures; and selecting from the collected human face pictures at least one human face picture of which the feature vector has the minimum distance to the feature vector of the target human face picture as a similar human face picture of the target human face picture. The invention is beneficial to recognition of different pictures of the same human face which have a difference in expression, makeup or face angle, etc.
