Introduces a novel means of facial coding allowing an entire face to be represented in less than two hundred bytes of information. This data reduction is achieved while still preserving many of the intrinsic facial recognition features. The system could thus reduce an input face into a sufficiently small amount of information that it could be stored on a smart-card. The algorithm used to perform the data reduction of the face is described and the results, in verification and recognition trials, are presented for a software implementation of the algorithm.
