Face Recognition
A growing body of research attests to the fact that the processes underlying object and face recognition are different, and that faces have a special significance. However, a large portion of this research focuses on the cognitive processes involved, with the aim of improving computerized face detection and recognition systems. A large amount of evidence from the human retina is made use of in human vision, making it very detailed, and usually accurate. Evidence from edges, corners, lines, bars, blobs, intensity, shape, texture, colour, and motion have been well utilized in vision research; however, contextual knowledge that is exploited in human vision has been to some extent neglected in vision research.

Famous quotes containing the words face and/or recognition:
“Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-browed night.
Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.”
