A method and system for identifying a human being or verifying two human beings by partial component(s) of their face. A probe human face image is identified from the gallery database by detecting and segmenting a plurality of partial face components from the probe human face image; creating a probe template for each of the partial face components from the probe human face image, comparing first and second probe templates against first and second categories of templates in the gallery database to generate similarity scores between the probe templates and templates in the gallery database; generating a plurality of sub-lists of candidate images having partial face component templates with the highest similarity scores over a first preset threshold; generating for each candidate image from each sub-list a combined similarity score; and generating a final list of candidates from said candidates of combined similarity scores over a second preset threshold.
A method for face identification of a probe human face image from a plurality of human face images in a gallery database having a plurality of templates, each template corresponding to a partial face component and said templates in said gallery database being grouped into categories, comprising the steps of:
