title: Recognizing human faces.
abstract: Information as to identity appears to be concentrated in and around certain areas of shapes and objects whereas other parts are more-or-less redundant. The experiments described in this paper were intended to establish which particular features of human faces, both in isolation and combination, convey most information for recognition. The results indicate the relative importance to recognition of different facial features. However, certain faces appear to embody idiosyncratic cues while some are confused consistently with others whom they appear to resemble.
