Here a method is presented which recognizes a face by capturing a unique illumination spot created in the centre of the eye i.e. the cornea. This illumination spot is always there whenever we are in light or in front of a light source. This algorithm works by running an edge detector on a sample face. The edge detector produces a dark spot in place of the illumination spot and a semicircular arc in place of the beginning of the cornea. This arc and the dark spot act as a unique template for capturing eye in the image and following this we extract other features i.e. eyebrows, lipline and chinline. Following this we calculate the vertical distance of each feature from every other feature and use these distance parameters to recognize faces.
