Both the detection and the recognition processes are performed on facial features (e.g., the eyes, the nose, the mouth, etc) in order to improve the recognition accuracy and to exploit their statistical independence in the training phase. Experimental results on real images show the superiority of our proposed techniques with respect to the existing ones in both the detection and the recognition phase. rv:
