Abstract :
In this paper we present a system for person identification which is based on the combination of several face classifiers. First, we describe briefly the individual face classifiers. The classifier combination is then discussed. Finally, the impact of the combination is presented in a series of practical experiments which show a significant improvement of the recognition rate
