Many Algorithms for implementation of face recognition are popular in face recognition all having respective advantages and disadvantages. Some improves the efficiency of face recognition, under varying illumination and expression conditions for face images. Feature representation and classification are two key steps for face recognition. Authors have presented novel techniques for face recognition. In this paper, we presented an overview of face recognition techniques and its applications
