Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for an improved facial recognition system are provided. Some embodiments may utilize a weighted block division of an image and capture a property measurement for pixels residing within a block. The measurements may be converted to vectors, compressed, and compared against compressed vectors of enrolled images to identify a characteristic or an image of a matching subject. Training processes may be utilized in order to optimize block divisions and weights.
