Face recognition is a complex and difficult problem that is important for surveillance and security, telecommunications, digital libraries , video meeting, and human-computer intelligent interactions.
The paper introduced the method of face recognition that based on the 24 bit multicolor image, Main content that the paper introduced is the picture treatment, It occupies the extremely important position in the whole software, the quality of picture process directly influenced the accuracy rate of localization and discerning. The picture process technology that the software mainly used included : light compensating、gauss smooth and twain value method. before discerning, we compensated the light for image, then we could obtain the possible face area through the complexion, finally, the system could depend on the symmetry of eyes to make sure whether it is the face of people, at the same time, the system could eliminate noises through the method that named gauss smoothness, then we used twain value method to deal with picture,the method got the threshold value in face area . After dealing with picture , the following operations are localization、draw characteristic value 、discerning and so on . After testing, we made true that the picture pretreatment modal has get the better effect in the process of dealing with picture, and improve the exactness rate of localization and discerning.
