I am interesting in an application for recognizing faces. 
As I am a beginner, I would like to know where I could find
some introductory literature to this subject.

I also have some questions:

- Are there any commercial packages that do this ?
- Are there any packages which convert the image data (from a camera) 
  into numerical form which can be used to detect features
- What are the methods of prerocesing and feature detection

Ideally I would like to build a prototype system where 
the recognition is made by neural networks.  

Thank you in advance,

K. Yurtsever
