This document summarizes a student project on face recognition. It begins with an introduction to face recognition, its applications, and common challenges. It then reviews literature on existing face recognition methods and identifies problems related to tilted poses and variations in illumination and expression. The proposed method will work to improve recognition rates under these conditions in two phases - training and testing. The method aims to enhance the preprocessing and feature extraction steps to make the system more robust. A basic flowchart of the proposed approach is provided, and the document concludes with references.
