Abstract

In this work a new algorithm for automatic human face recognition from computer images, is presented. The proposed approach is based on minimal eigenvalues obtained from Toeplitz matrices. The promising results and their relatively high recognition percentage encourage making further studies and modifications to reach more general effective and faster methods for face identification.
