Abstract: Face recognition is one of the important fields of search in computer vision. Its principle consists to look for images that represent the similar faces to a given face image the image request. This process is done by extracting a set of features of the request image then making comparison between features generated by the request one and the others extracted from whole face image database. Recently, numerous face representation and classification methods have been proposed in the literature. Nevertheless, many issues related to indexing, combination of adequate descriptors and time computing have not yet been solved. In this paper, we deal with problems related to features combination and this, by conceiving a preformat content-based image retrieval that is mainly oriented to handle face authentication challenges. Its convivial interface allows to user the selection of appropriate weighting coefficient values associate to each feature based on human judgment in order to enhance the retrieval performance. We have tested our proposed method on ORL database by using a set of known features. The obtained results show the performance of our proposed method.
