• Founders and inventors of automated face
  recognition include Helen Chan Wolf, Woody
  Bledsoe and Charles Bisson and Lawrence Reese.

• During the early 1960s, Bledsoe, along with
  Helen Chan and Charles Bisson, worked on using
  the computer to recognize human faces. Early on
  major financial philanthropist funded research
  and therefore didnt publish a lot of research
  publicly. Based on small amounts of leaked
  information the public was educated that
  Bledsoes studies involved the manual marketing
  of a number of landmarks on the face such has the
  mouth, center of both eyes, etc.

• By having a larger database of photos, like from
  mug shots or pictures from a busy airport, the
  problem was to select from the database a small
  number of records and try to match with the photo
  in question. The success of the method could be
  measured in terms of the ratio of the answer list
  to the number of records in the database. Bledsoe
  had several challenges with this method. He made
  the following statement in 1966

• This recognition problem is made difficult by
  the great variability in head rotation and tilt,
  lighting intensity and angle, facial expression,
  aging, etc. Some other attempts at face
  recognition by machine have allowed for little or
  no variability in these quantities. Yet the
  method of correlation (or pattern matching) of
  unprocessed optical data, which is often used by
  some researchers, is certain to fail in cases
  where the variability is great. In particular,
  the correlation is very low between two pictures
  of the same person with two different head
  rotations.?Woody Bledsoe, 1966

• So many things have advanced with this topic
  since 1966. Throughout the 21 century Face IT DNA
  Technology LLC, a scientific face recognition
  company at the Direction of Lawrence Reese, has
  been able to dive in to further studies of human
  hereditary genetics and face detection. DNA Face
  Matching involves biometric landmarking and
  hereditary characteristics that are passed from
  generation to generation. Face IT DNA Technology
  LLC initially focused on the paternal line of
  genetic comparisons. Our most recent research
  allows us to depict extended studies such as
  comparing an aunt or uncles photo to a child, or
  comparing two siblings, cousins or even
  grandparents. As you can see facial recognition
  is nothing new but is becoming a larger part of
  our everyday lives. Cell phones, offices
  security, home security, background checks,
  fingerprint biometrics and now DNA Paternity, DNA
  Ancestry Testing and DNA Relationship Testing.
