A review of face recognition techniques has been carried out. Face recognition has been an attractive field in the society of both biological and computer vision of research. It exhibits the characteristics of being natural and low-intrusive. In this paper, an updated survey of techniques for face recognition is made. Methods of face recognition, such as, geometric, statistical and neu-ral networks approaches are presented and analyzed. The comparative performance of the vari-ous approaches is discussed.
