Abstract	:	This paper presents a face recognition system using a support vector machine. Face recognition system was always a complex task due to various conditions like degradation of image quality, different expressions for the same face, wearing huge glasses to cover major part of the face or the addition of beards and moustaches etc. Here the face recognition system is divided into two phases, the former being the detection and extraction and the latter being the matching part. The face detection is done by Gabor filters and Support vector Machines classifier. It is a supervised learning model with associated learning algorithms that analyze data and recognize patterns. The processed faces are finally forwarded to the recognition part and here the feature vector is evaluated by using Eigen Face Vector. This feature vector compares the detected faces with the stored database and displays the result along with the name and gender.
