Claim One:
1. An image processing system for performing facial recognition on an image comprising: i. a first server computer, the first server computer includes a processor, a network interface coupled to the processor and adaptively coupled to a database, and a server software application operating on the processor; ii. the server software application adapted to: (1) over the network interface, retrieve an image from a client computer or a second server computer; (2) retrieve a set of models from the database; (3) extract a final feature from the image; (4) apply each model in the set of models on the final feature to generate a set of comparison scores; (5) select the highest score from the set of comparison scores; (6) associate the image with a label wherein the label is associated with the model corresponding to the highest score, thereby forming an association; (7) store the association into the database; (8) detect a first face within the image; (9) determine a set of facial feature positions of the first face, wherein the set of facial feature positions corresponds to a set of facial features; (10) based on the set of facial feature positions, separate the first face into a set of facial feature parts; (11) for each facial feature part in the set of facial feature parts, extract a set of image features; (12) for each facial feature part in the set of facial feature parts, concatenate the corresponding set of image features to form a subpart feature; (13) concatenate the set of subpart features corresponding to the set of facial feature parts to form a full feature; and (14) perform dimension reduction on the full feature to derive the final feature.
