Face recognition is a technology that is widely used today which brings various benefits to society. Facial recognition differs from facial detection in the aspect that facial detection only finds and detects the present face/s in an image whereas, in facial recognition, the computer finds the face/s present in a subject and is able to distinguish the face from a sample of different faces. This research focuses on the implementation of both a facial recognition system and a facial detection system in MATLAB. This research would use the different imaging toolboxes available in the program and would be judged on its ability to accurately detect and recognize a sample in a given database. Additionally, this system should be able to create and to read a database of different faces.
