In order to increase detection speed and hit rate, the authors introduce some heuristics. Furthermore, for recognition purposes eigenface approach has been introduced. My overall impression is that the proposed work is very well presented. The proposed techniques are novel and sophisticated. The result is a very good paper, that in my personal opinion would be of great interest to research thatdeal with face recognition systems. Concluding, I suggest to be accepted as it is.
