Abstract
A device for carrying out of biometric identification by comparing face shapes. The shape of a first face is compared with the shape of a second face. A map can be determined between the shapes. The shape, and hence the comparison, is substantially independent of pose and lighting, and also parts of the shape can be removed from the comparison in order to enhance the recognition.
