Patent ID: 7286692

Claim:
A method of playing a game comprising the steps of: obtaining a digital facial image of a user; converting the digital facial image into an intensity (gray-scale) format; extracting a plurality of facial features from the intensity (gray-scale) format of the digital facial image; normalizing the plurality of facial features in relation to at least one of a width of the user's face and a position of the user's nose to provide geometrical features; determining a plurality of vectors based upon the user's geometrical features; determining Euclidean norms of the plurality of user vectors; comparing the Euclidean norms of the plurality of user vectors with Euclidean norms of the plurality of stored celebrity facial images; determining which of the plurality of stored celebrity facial images is a closest match to the digital facial image of the user by identifying which stored celebrity facial image has a smallest difference in Euclidean norms when compared to the Euclidean norms of the plurality of user vectors, and notifying the user which of a plurality of celebrity facial images the user's digital facial image most closely resembles.
